(17)Look Closer by David Ellis

Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure: absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. 

When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web... and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part 
Gone Girl and part Strangers on a TrainLook Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.


I had seen Look Closer on several different "books you may like" lists. I had ignored it for quite a while, and I wish I hadn't. Look Closer was full of twists and turns that I haven't experienced in quite some time. The book is told in the alternating voices of Vicky, Simon, and the detective investigating the Halloween murder.  I thought I had figured everything out, but I was wrong! And I love those kinds of books!

This book is for fans of Freida McFadden or John Marrs.
