On July 22, 2022 a jewelry story, is being robbed in Geneva, and the police are on to it and have a plan to capture the criminals in the act, but not everything is as it seems. Let’s go back 20 days, Sophia is married to Arpad, and have two kids. Their neighbors are Greg and Karine, who also have two kids, and a man from Arpad and Sophia’s past shows up. The book follows all the days leading up to the robbery, and even the day of the robbery, and we follow in real time. These people all have secrets, and we learn them as the days go by. They’re juicy, and just when you think you have a handle on what’s going on, the author changes the game. There are so many twists and turns that it’s hard to write a review of the plot. Let’s just say this book is one of the best of the year. The characters, the plot, the story, and the twists make you want to keep reading along. This is one book you will not want to put down.
