Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Jessica Jones actor Ritter follows Bonfire with a lukewarm tale of scams, larceny, and murder among the mega-rich. While posing as an art consultant, fraudster Liz Dawson bumps into the glamorous Isabelle Beresford--wife of prominent venture capitalist Oliver--at a gallery opening in Chicago. The pair hits it off, and the next day, Isabelle offers Liz a job overseeing the installation of an artwork at her new villa in the wealthy community of Punta Mita, Mexico, while Isabelle remains stateside. Eager for an escape from the Midwestern winter, Liz agrees. When she arrives, her dark hair and green eyes get her mistaken for Isabelle, and she encourages the confusion, integrating herself with a clique of rich women whom she plans to fleece. Then two people close to Isabelle turn up dead, and Liz starts to worry she's being set up. Her plans are thrown into further chaos when the handsome brother of one of the victims arrives in Punta Mita, adding new layers to the question of who's deceiving whom. Ritter keeps things moving at an steady pace, but many of her plot twists are too predictable to shock. Suspense fans have plenty of better options. Agent: Mollie Glick, CAA. (Mar.)
