“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.
Reviews
Slow Read
3By Angele's IPODI didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. The first half of the book is slow, and once the plot got rolling, it was hard to keep track of who was who. Simon and Vicky’s character took an interesting plot twist that I didn’t see coming, but overall this book had a hard time keeping my attention.It was ok
3By JennG317This book took me awhile to read. It was very slow moving until the second half or later. Ended up good at the end.Fabulous suspense

5By giftsquadLove itWhat a book!
5By happyjack1This 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!
5By hoebudThis book is full of twists and turns. It kept me up late at night and then ready to read more in the morning!It was an uphill battle
2By TiffanyGriffin10I’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.Look Closer
