Description

“Wildly entertaining.”—New York Times Book Review

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 and part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

    This is one of the best thriller/who done it books I have read in a long time! Every time I thought I knew what was happening, I was proven wrong, all the way until the end. There was so many what?! moments in this book. People compare to Gone Girl, but in my opinion this blows that book out of the water. I never saw the ending, and most reviews that say that end up being wrong. Not this one. What a ride!

  • What’s book!

    I’m happy it’s over. It was an awesome concept but it felt like forever to get to the good stuff which happened in the final 1/3 of the book.

    This was a great read, kinda slow burning but I promise you, you won’t have any clue as to what is actually happening or if it’s all part of the deception!

  • Patience

    This was the book my book club chose to read for March-April. I throughly enjoyed it! I titled this ‘Patience’ because I think it took a while to really pick up for me, but once it did it was SO good. The style of writing with the the multiple points of views was different for me, but I liked it. I actually think it’s essential to the way the story is told.
