11 hrs 39 mins Twenty-eight-year-old Maggie Sparkes arrives in New York City to pack up what’s left of her best friend’s belongings after a suicide that has left everyone stunned. The police have deemed the evidence conclusive: Celine got into bed, downed a bottle of Xanax and a handle of Maker’s Mark, and never woke up. But when Maggie discovers secrets in the childhood lock box hidden in Celine’s apartment, she begins asking questions. Questions about the man Celine fell in love with. The man she never told anyone about, not even Maggie. The man who Celine herself claimed would be her ruin. On the hunt for answers that will force the police to reopen the case, Maggie uncovers more than she bargained for about Celine’s private life—and inadvertently puts herself on the radar of a killer who will stop at nothing to keep his crimes undiscovered.

0 0I don't read many thrillers. They either don't catch my attention or they quickly lose it.
This was different. Maybe because we all suspect maybe we don't know our friends as well as we think.
Maggie runs an organization working in third world countries. She grew up extremely wealthy but doesn't agree with her family's' business practices so she uses her money in a philanthropic ways. Her best friend Celine grew up poor, the daughter of Maggie's nanny.
Maggie gets a call that Celine has committed suicide and flys home to sort out her estate. She doesn't believe she killed herself and decides to investigate.
The story is twisty and interesting. I love her writing style (loved 10 tiny breaths). If you like thrillers with some steam, this might be for you.
