Reviews
Can’t believe I paid money to read it ..
1By HzlVinStarts out getting your attention and interest - hence why I paid to read it after the sample. Down hill from there. Lame character development. Disappointing ending. Instead of calling it The Nicest Couple - The Pathetic Couple or I want the last few nights of my life back after reading this garage is a better fit. Take the cheesiest lifetime movie and make it a book and you have The Nicest couple.Helicopter Mom
5By Denise 65Read only after you finish. Having personal experience with a controlling dominant mother , I became alarm by the overwhelming need of her mother. She knew her only child would do anything to help her mother. That is how they control the child, manipulate the love, use the natural loyalty of the child. As a mystery, it was entertaining and kept me guessing.Could have had a better ending!
3By SolanaM.This book definitely kept me hooked till the end, and the ending was not what I expected. However, it seemed to end kind of abruptly….there were some missing pieces as to what happened with the characters. Overall tho, an entertaining read.Plot Twist
5By golfclubbookcluI liked this easier, suspenseful read. Keeps you wondering the entire time.Who Wrote This?
2By BennettwritesAwful writing, worse editing. What a waste of time. Couldn’t finish. Characters so unlikable,stupid, and unbelievable. I’ve read other books by Kubica and something tells me she did not write this. Sry for bad review.Compelling!
5By SSingleton22I read through this one faster than any book in a long time. It was a very easy and entertaining read. I’m sure it wasn’t the first I’ve read by the author but I won’t hesitate to read anything from her after this one!Great Read
5By wendita2Engaged from 0 to 100 in first chapter and stayed at 100 until the last sentence. Recommend HighlyMary Kubica Delivers
5By Paleo SchnauzerGreat suspense and fun to read although some sections begged me to skim over them. Nice twisty ending but some details there would have helped. It’s slmost like she got tired of writing. But still all in all a very satisfying read.Loved it!

5By kels3245i think the poor reviews are a little harsh. this book is suspenseful and thrilling, anxiety inducing and well written. I would recommend this over some of her other books i’ve read.Just The Nicest Couple
5By backgateThis book is great talk about suspense I totally thought the wrong one guiltyGood but not great
3By Lainie AmethystI really like this author, but this is not my favorite book by her. It felt long and drawn out and ultimately it is forgettable. I would recommend this author, but not this book to my friends.Slow to develop, overall good story.
3By bpinter23I really enjoyed this book. I have seen other reviews mentioned the pace being a bit slow at first and I can agree. But sticking with it, you uncover the twist at the end. The last few pages had me in my feels, although I’m not sure if I should have been. Good read!So predictable
1By LoveMyThrillersTook excruciatingly long to discover who done it when it was apparent in the first third of the novel.Waste of Time
2By tina simsopWhat a terrible book honestly, a bad read. The twist was not that twisted, and the book hasmd so much filler lack of character development. Feels like a book someone wrote in college. The writing was terrible, I should’ve known from the name of the book. TerribleCaptivating
5By Queen of FreeportIt was my first suspenseful book, easy reading. Loved it.Eh
3By Puzzle pantsIt was good, not great. I kind of figured it out myself.
