WHAT DID THEY PUT IN THIS BOOK?!

If you're wondering what the story is about, it's pretty much about this wife planning to kill her husband, and the day her plan finally comes into action, she finds him already dead.

I also really liked how her original murder plan basically came back to bite her. She had planned everything around making sure no one saw her or knew exactly where she was so she could get away with killing him. But when someone beat her to it, all of those carefully planned details worked against her instead. She had no real alibi, no witnesses, and nothing she could say made sense because everything had been set up for a murder she was supposed to commit, not one that had already happened. She basically accidentally framed herself for her husband's murder without even killing him.

I also really liked how the book showed how money and all this luxury can change someone so much that you barely even recognize them anymore. Her husband used to be this loving person Odette genuinely loved, but after she tried to help him by connecting him with a guy she knew from high school who could get him a better job, he slowly started changing for the worse.

The book also goes back to the past, which worked SO well with the story. You slowly get to see who Beau used to be compared to who he became, how their relationship changed, and what eventually made Odette start to plan his own murder in the first place.

Honestly, when this book comes out, BUY IT RIGHT AWAY because you will not regret it. I was hooked trying to figure out who actually killed Beau from the start!
