Abigail Macready is a newlywed whose life is upended by a brief, drunken encounter during her bachelorette weekend in California. After marrying the wealthy but mysterious Bruce Lamb, Abigail is stunned to see her one-night stand, a man named Scott, appear at the wedding. The situation escalates when Bruce takes her to a secluded, high-tech honeymoon destination on a private island off the coast of Maine. As Abigail realizes she is being watched and that every move is monitored, she begins to suspect that her husband is part of a dark, organized conspiracy designed to trap women who stray.
This book is for readers who enjoy psychological thrillers centered on gaslighting, domestic paranoia, and survival in isolated settings. It appeals to fans of suspense fiction who want to see how technology and social surveillance can be used as tools of control within a marriage. Readers finish the story with a cynicism regarding the security of their private pasts and a stark understanding of the dangers posed by extreme misogyny hiding behind a facade of extreme wealth and chivalry.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
