The Spires is my first book from Kate Moretti. "An old friend, Willa, from college shows up on Penelope's doorstep, asking for help. Penelope hasn;t seen her since the fire that they never talked about. The one where someone died. Penelope offers her home as a refuge. But when Willa starts taking liberties with Penelope's children, she's not sure what her friend is doing. Things appear and disappear and Penelope feels overwhelmed. Will someone find out about that night twenty years ago?" This book started out slowly, because it felt like a familiar thriller trope - 'Something happened years ago. It's been kept a secret. Now someone wants a reckoning' Dual timelines - But Moretti kind of takes that and gives us some wild characters and situations. And a fire in a converted church. And the old friend who is messing with Penelope but you're unsure why until the end. And a husband with secrets. Moretti springs a couple of twists on us in the last couple of scenes.. I did not guess them Brett Cox is very close to my name. I wish he was a character that was likable. What a jerk! This book closes with a fast-paced ending - lots of things happening and coming together. I will definitely read more of Moretti's books. Fans of domestic thrillers will enjoy this one.
