- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2023An epic page turner that doesn’t disappoint. 4 angry women versus a lying con artist. Highly suspenseful and clever, with stunning twists and revelations. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2024Good read, but have to take one star off for a clear mistake on one page of mixed up names. Where are the copy editors?
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022This was an okay read but could have been much better as the premise for a great story was there.
Toby is a gigolo. He has been married to Dee for 20 years and been faithfully unfaithful to her for as long as she can remember. He chooses his mistresses based solely on the financial gain he stands to benefit from them. In each instance he leaves his wife and daughter and moves in with the lady of the moment but gives his wife the contact number of where he is staying. Bizarre!
In this tale there are besides the investigating police duo, 4 main female characters- Dee, plus three of Toby's mistresses. Babs, Misty and Gwen all suffer because of Toby's outrageous behaviour but also because they are willing doormats. Unfortunately all 4 women come across as decidedly stupid which lost the story a star. The ending was also unlikely, which lost it a further star. 3 stars
- Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2023One of the best psycho thrillers I've read. I enjoyed that it had NO gross, violent, vulgar language, but kept my🤗 attention from cover to cover.
Congrats to Ms. Keogh!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021I really loved reading this book. I was hooked early, and I love when something happens that makes me go backwards in the book, assuming I did not remember it correctly!! The different POV from each woman was great. Wish there had been 1 or 2 from victim's perspective, just to confirm just how shallow actually were!!! Thank you for this wonderful experience
- Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2024This book kept me wondering who was responsible. Takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions at the man who lies to so many women. Their lives changed forever!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021This is a warning to women to choose their men wisely!
Great twist of an ending. Next book coming up!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022Great book and would recommend . This story had me guessing a lot. Thought I had it all figured out, but not until the very end was the truth told!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Upwardly Mobile
A man becomes romantically involved with a number of women. He moves from one to another when he seas an opportunity for a richer target. This leads to old flames with jealous tendencies and regrets wanting revenge for the humiliation caused. I enjoyed the story but could have done with less of the descriptions of breakfasts and coffee etc.
