Rea and Julia, best friends since they were young, both followed the same career path and are now doctors. When a position opens up in research, they both apply, who wouldn’t want to be part of finding the cure to cancer? Julia gets the job which leads to a falling out.
Just when Rea is ready to forgive Julia, Julia is found dead. Who killed her? The police are investigating and it seems Rea is the number one suspect.
This was a great read, I needed to know more, I was hooked! There were twists and shocks, betrayal and anger. I didn’t particularly like Rea or Julia for certain reasons but it was fast paces and I couldn’t stop reading.
This book was very unique, I have not read anything similar to it before.
