Description
'It's not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion.' So begins the tale.
Chester has a serious problem. Tender-hearted and utterly devoted to his beautiful wife, he's convinced she will soon leave him in search of another and take their young daughter. It's a prospect he can't live with. Desperation overcomes him. But how far will he go? Well, a whole lot farther than you think.
A tidy plan. An unusual murder. But...all is not as it seems. And then the unpredictable happens. Sometimes funny. Sometimes chilling. Always intriguing.

“It’s not every day that a good man sets a killing in motion”
“A tidy plan, an unusual murder but.. all is not as it seems”
Wow. This book was full of surprises. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, I did not guess the twists until they were right in front of me. It was definitely a quick, action packed suspense novel. There’s multiple timelines and different perspectives with a cast of unlikeable characters. I had to know what was going to happen next and the motivations behind everything!
My only critique would be the writing style. It is very choppy and a “telling not showing” type of writing. It was hard to get into the flow at first but once I got it I was hooked. It really picks up about a third of the way through.
This was a unique story with new and interesting characters I haven’t experienced before.
