“Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.“
I’m not plot-spoiling here, by the way – this is the blurb on the back cover of this smashing thriller.
We learn that Evie works for a Mr. Smith, whom she has never met, and who gives her assignments to complete. She does not know the identity of Mr. Smith and all the people in her current, new life do not know her true identity either, least of all her boyfriend, Ryan – who is her latest assignment from Mr. Smith.
A fast-paced, cleverly written story of identities and trust, the book weaves together “Evie’s” current life with her mysterious, hidden past. We go back and forth, learning more about this astute, likeable young woman, who is caught in the midst of a dilemma of hidden identities and ultimate trust.
When a young woman arrives in town using Evie’s own, real, hidden identity – known only to Mr. Smith – the plot thickens as her fear of being unmasked increases.
I can’t tell you too much more, as I really, really don’t want to spoil the suspense for you.
Just trust me.
It’s a gripping read, with twists and turns a’plenty – right down to the very last page.
Recommended.
