Unsure of her own instincts, Martha turns to an old friend, Lily Kintner, who once helped her escape a toxic relationship in grad school. But what Martha doesn't know is that Lily has a dark side of her own . . .

Slow start, but it picked up once the main protagonists were established. I hope this a series of books with the same characters.
