"Wildly entertaining."--New York Times Book Review From the bestselling and award-winning author comes a wickedly clever and fast-paced novel of greed, revenge, obsession—and quite possibly the perfect murder. Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure … absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web...and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part Gone Girl, part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

What did I just read? Seriously what. Now this is a book that messes with your head- in all the right ways. If you're looking for a great thriller with a well executed, complex plot and fleshed out characters, this is a solid choice. It will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about three fourths of the way in. Enjoy!
This one starts as rather bland and predictable “thriller” and i was starting to lose patience with it but Ellis started pulling away the layers in a timely (but somewhat foreseeable manner) but by the end of the book i credit him with getting it all to work.
