Book Review
Short snappy chapters….
Scene changes like the flash of lightning in the sky…
The rain of POVs from all directions…
A child hidden in a closed room…
Murders in the house of a Hollywood couple…
A triangle relationship…a woman between twin brothers…
Past parental abuse and serial killing….
Personas and perceptions and what people see with assumptions….
Million threads that boggle the mind with a jaw dropping twist at the end….
A fast paced murder mystery, A Fatal Affair is one book that fires on all cylinders. Biting nails and pacing like a caged lion won’t help in rushing to the end of the story which is what I wanted to do especially when the small child Miles was introduced and knowing that no one is aware of even his kidnapped state. Phew, it was one roller coaster ride… A couple of the things felt loosely plotted and needed more clarity like the FB group psychopath stalking the women and investigators missing out on certain details but these are just minor flaws in this entertaining thriller.
Nope, don’t pick this one as a cunning and mindblowing police procedural, you are bound to be disappointed.
A Fatal Affair is a crazy mystery thriller with all elements of the plot blended to make it an easy read.
Many thanks to Net Galley, Thomas & Mercer, and the author for a chance to read and review this book. All opinions are expressed voluntarily.

Stars. Lovers. Liars. Killers. This is Hollywood, and everyone has a part to play in a shocking novel of suspense by New York Times bestselling author A. R. Torre.
Actress Nora Kemp loves two men. One is Hugh Iverson, a philanthropic movie star who gives Nora security and respectability. The other is Hugh’s twin brother, Trent, a Hollywood bad boy who brings out Nora’s wild side. When Trent and an unidentified woman are found dead on the Iversons’ Beverly Hills property, more than Nora’s and Hugh’s reputations are at stake.
An investigation suggests murder-suicide. But there’s more to the crime than first meets the eye: suspicions of a serial killer with a bizarre motive, Hugh’s unnerved and cautious staff, and a missing mother and son. As two LA detectives sift through the deceptions of the innocent and the guilty-some living and some dead-solving the case becomes a cunning cat-and-mouse game.
Because in a city of illusions, the truth-no matter how dangerous-is so easy to hide.
