MixedThe Washington PostThis is no romance novel. As the pandemic descends and problems mount, the story picks up pace and intensity, moving into the realm of a thriller as all three become implicated in a crime caper: an insurance scam that evolves into a murder-for-hire scheme ... Lippman builds the stories of her main characters. None are especially deep — or sympathetic ... Leaves readers so distanced from her soulless characters that they may not care enough to root for any of them.
