The baby is starting to grumble.  Kim sits still in her chair and holds her breath. It's taken her all night to get him to sleep.  It's Friday, a sultry midsummer's night and normally she'd be out with friends at this time.  Eleven o'clock: she'd be at the bar getting in the last round for the road.  But tonight she's in joggers and a T-shirt, her dark hair tied up in a bun, contacts out, glasses on and a glass of lukewarm wine on the coffee table that she poured herself earlier and hasn't had a chance to drink.

I never got a chance to read this once last year when it was published but, it should be perfect this month for the RIP Challenge.  Have you read it?  Would you read more or pass?

    1. Yes, just by the author you pretty much know it will be an exciting thriller but, the intro doesn't tell too much.

  6. I'd keep reading. Sounds like she's feeling the pull between responsibility and wanting to live a little. :) I usually like Lisa Jewell's stuff.
