About the Book:
Henry North is a down-on-his-luck cybersecurity expert from New Orleans. Adam Zhang is the cofounder of one of Austin’s most successful venture capitalist firms. These two men didn’t know each other. They had never met. Yet they died together, violently, in a place neither had any business being. When Henry doesn’t return from a business trip, his wife, Kirsten, panics—and then gets an anonymous phone call: “Your husband is dead in Austin.” Flora Zhang knew her husband was keeping secrets. She suspected an affair, but she had decided she could forgive him for his weakness—until her husband ended up dead. And with no explanation for her husband’s murder, the police begin to suspect her. Together, these two widows will face a powerful foe determined to write a false narrative about the murders. In doing so, neither Flora nor Kirsten will remain the women the world thought they were.
My Review:

My Review:
This is a slow burner, but in the very best possible way...it was like putting a puzzle together...slowly, piece by piece...then eventually you begin to see the bigger picture. I also loved how the two female leads were strong women (even though at first Flora didn't seem to be)...who decide to work together to find who killed their husbands and why....and the killer is after them as well! All the characters were well developed and I really felt for Kirsten and Flora.
Even though I figured out who was responsible (hence the half a star removed) I really enjoyed this book. The writing was engaging and fresh and the plot was absorbing. This is my second book by Jeff Abbott, the first was Never Ask Me and now I am going to have to get more for my reading shelves.
