Lots of drama and shocking secrets.

IT COULD BE ANYONE was described as “Riveting from its opening scene” by bestselling author Robyn Harding. NYT Bestselling author Mary Kubica said it “starts with a bang and never lets up.” Publisher’s Weekly says, “Hendricks maximizes the suspense of her Clue-style premise, smoothly manipulating and misdirecting readers.” It is also available in UK & Commonwealth under the title HER HUSBAND’S MURDER. Jaime spent over twenty years in the printing industry before becoming an author, and recently moved from NJ to FL with her husband and dog.

I’m late in posting this review but rest assured it is not from a lack of love. This book had me on the edge of my seat from the first page. The tragic death of the groom was a nice set up, before revealing that each member of the wedding party had a motive for his death. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs and different timelines, providing more depth to the relationships of the group. It definitely took some getting used to since there were so many characters to learn about, but it made for a fully fleshed out cast of devious suspects. The pace was on the faster side which I love, and the misdirection was executed perfectly.

An awesome thriller from one of my new favorite authors!

4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy multiple POVs, characters with dark motives, and shocking secrets.

Synopsis:

To anyone on their flight out of New York, they appear to be five best friends excited for a destination wedding in Miami. No one would guess that each of them has a reason to want the groom dead. 

Trevor Vaughn, the groom in question, wooed his bride-to-be by first becoming close with her friends—which is to say that he learned all of the five’s darkest, most dangerous secrets and blackmailed them into convincing Fiona to say “I do.” The friends were forced to convince a doubting Fiona to go through with the wedding, no matter what, and now the charade is set to continue all the way to the altar.

Trevor has his own reasons for wanting to marry into Fiona’s family, and he’ll stop at nothing to make his plan a reality. But when he dies of an apparent allergic reaction at the wedding, surrounded by such close enemies, the possibility of murder isn’t far behind. And for the authorities investigating the case, anyone present could be a suspect…
