What do you get when you take two sisters, both of them young adults, estranged from each other for the past decade, who will now meet again, — each sharing their conflicting first-person POV stories, back and forth in time and sequence, with one (or more) of them necessarily both a liar and a completely unreliable narrator.

Watch and listen as the stories unravel, untangle, then re-tangle, only telling it different, each time, as the pieces re-assemble. Who can be trusted? Just what exactly, happened long ago to cause this degree of what feels, to the reader, like malice, anger, and even terror, directed squarely sister-to-sister?

A twisty, turny game of cat and mouse ensues, only who exactly, can be seen to playing which role. As the plot evolves, it may also appear we are watching two cats (feral ones with very long nails), or even two mice, as this damaged, broken pair vie in what looks like a power struggle, a fight to the finish, or something even more sinister.

A fun library book from one of my favorite suspense writers, this book is recommended for those who enjoy emotionally-laden domestic thrillers, with tricks aplenty keep a reader guessing, right up to an ending that both surprises and satisfies.
