Look Closer

From the bestselling and award-winning author comes a wickedly clever and fast-paced novel of greed, revenge, obsession—and quite possibly the perfect murder. 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, part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

Great twist, hard to put down, a little repetitive and longer than necessary

I loved this book! Whenever I thought I had an idea of where it was going another twist would pop up that left me so confused until the end!

It’s all just too perfect. I never felt any danger or suspense. It was always going to end the way I expected it to. 

Nicole Neuman

Amazing thriller. The timeline and perspective changes worked seamlessly, unraveling an interesting story. One of the best books I’ve read.

Kyle James

Loved this! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good thriller. I honestly hated the plot and the characters at the beginning, but for some reason couldn’t stop chugging along. And I was so glad that I didn't because I became so invested so quickly. I had a million questions and thoughts from beginning to end.

A well-written thriller you won't be able to put down! Look Closer is full of twists and turns you won't see coming. This is my first read by this author and I look forward to more!

3.5 stars. Overall, plot twists were good & unexpected but i tbh just didn’t care abt the characters so i didn’t care what happened to them or the motivations behind the crime.

Couldn’t put It down and completely blown away at the end. All the stories intertwine and It was perfect! Loved It!

Vicky and Simon are a wealthy couple in Chicago, that seems to have an unexciting, yet stable marriage. However, Simon and Vicky’s secrets unravel when someone is found hanging around a mansion near by. This book threw me for a loop. i could not have been more taken aback by the plot twists and was constantly on the edge of my seat throughout this book. you will question everything you think you know about this book and won’t want to put it down.

Slow at first but once I got into it, I loved this!

This book was an absolute delight! From start to finish, it had me completely engrossed. Simon's character was a standout for me, and I found myself deeply invested in his journey. Overall, this was an incredibly enjoyable read, and I'm thrilled that I decided to pick it up.

Your typical lots of twists, crime of passion, thriller. Kind of confusing when listening to the audio book bc it switches between characters and back and forth in time. Good plot, but the ending seems like almost impossible.

Wow…. there were so many twists and turns that I truly did not expect to see coming. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and all the perspective changes and time changes that were in it.
