What to expect
One aspiring actress from the UK pays for her acting class in New York the only way she can: as a decoy for a firm of divorce lawyers, hired to entrap straying husbands. When the police begin investigating one of her targets for murdering his wife - and potentially others - they ask her to help lure the suspect into a confession.
But with the actress pretending to be someone she's not, differentiating the decoy from the prey becomes impossible - and deadly.

An excellent thriller, vividly narrated with just the right amount of engaging literary backstory, and a final twist that I half-saw coming yet still found profoundly shocking! One of the best by JP Delaney.
