Usually I like Dark Thrillers. This means that none of the book’s characters are wash the basil leaves, everyone has secret or dark past behind it. The book’s has three main characters, Rachel, Anna and Megan. One of them always has alcohol drowned and one of them is a liar and another one is a cheater. Who would you believe? Everyone has the motive behind the incident.
