Evelyn McTavish has been struggling to recover from her fiance's alleged suicide, an allegation that she doesn't think adds up. When she is called to pick up a dog that isn't hers, she is swept into a whirlwind of secrets and cover-ups and danger until she doesn't know whom she can trust. FBI agent Sawyer Price is working his own case when he gets pulled into Evelyn's situation, and they find themselves trying to stay alive long enough to put all of the pieces together.
I really enjoyed the characters of Evelyn and Sawyer. Mostly Tavish (Evelyn), who was dealing with low self esteem, a mother who didn't care, a dead fiance, and a crazy never-ending mystery. Speaking of which, the mystery itself didn't really appeal to me. There were too many moving parts, and too many of them seemed to not really tie into each other. There were too many pointless deaths, and too many trails pointing the reader away from the actual plot. When the antagonists were revealed, it didn't feel like a clicking of the pieces together. Also, the wrap up of the story and then movement into "The Months Later" felt jarring. The story took so long to come together and reveal the characters that the conclusion should have been a little more gradual as well.
I give this book 3 stars; Tavish was compelling enough to keep me turning pages, but I was dissatisfied with the overall story. If you like twisty, turny, suspense stories, with lots of murders to keep you wondering, you may enjoy it more than I did, though!

I received a digital copy of this book, via NetGalley, from the publisher, in exchange for my honest review.
