At the start of this chilling tale of deceit and betrayal from Torre (The Girl in 6E), the police arrest life coach Neena Ryder, because she’s “under suspicion of attempted murder.” Flash back four months. Cat Winthorpe enjoys an idyllic life with William, her “devastatingly handsome” husband, the head of Winthorpe Technologies, in upscale Atherton, Calif. Then William hires Neena to be a motivational coach at his company, and Neena and her husband, Matt, buy the home next door to the Winthorpes. Neena gradually insinuates herself into Cat and William’s lives, and sets out to seduce William. Cat becomes suspicious of Neena’s behavior and hires a private investigator to look into Neena’s past. Meanwhile, an intruder breaks into Neena and Matt’s house. Torre keeps the suspense high up to the shocking reveal behind Neena’s arrest. Credible characters complement the fast-paced plot. Readers will be riveted from page one. [em]Agent: Maura Kye-Casella: Don Congdon Agency. (Oct.) [/em]
