About the Book
How much can you
trust your closest friend?
Beth Montgomery seems to have the perfect life: a beautiful
house in the hills above Los Angeles, a handsome, ambitious husband, and plans
of starting a family. So it doesn’t occur to her to worry when the news breaks
of a quadruple homicide across town, a botched drug deal that leaves an
undercover officer among the dead. Beth certainly would never think to tie the
murders to the sudden reappearance in her life of wild, sexy Cassie Ogilvy, the
estranged best friend she hasn’t seen since they were college roommates.
As Cassie confidently settles into Beth’s new life, making
herself comfortable not only in Beth’s guestroom but with her husband as well,
it becomes increasingly clear that her old friend has a lot to hide. But it
isn’t until a shocking late-night phone call, and Cassie’s even more startling
disappearance, that Beth begins to understand that her world, as she knew it,
is gone forever.
Unfurling over the span of three fraught, heart-pounding
days, McInnis’s masterful suspense debut is fast-paced and diabolically
unpredictable–a fresh, surprising, and powerfully smart twist on the
traditional thriller.
My Review
Sometimes book reviews are so hard to write because I don’t want to give anything away, not even a little tidbit. Framed is one of those books, so I’ll just say … read it. Okay, just kidding, but I’m going to try to watch my words here. The synopsis pulled me in – the dynamic between female friends always intrigues me, and getting to learn Beth and Cassie and how their friendship progressed kept me intrigued. There is a lot of fast-paced action in here, and I loved the multiple POVs. I was hooked from the beginning, because the title tells us – someone is framed – but who? And for what? Without giving too much away, I’ll just say I highly recommend this one if it’s a genre you enjoy!
