“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 and part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

"Look Closer is a roller coaster read from beginning to end and you will feel like you have whiplash by the final page. Fast paced, mulitiple twists and turns with red herrings. Crazy meets crazy and I love crazy but this book was the best Backstabbing, betrayal , secrets and lies, dead bodies piling up and I trusted no one. Did I mention revenge is a hot topic. I yelled at the book (scared my dog) and I could not put this book down. David Ellis has outdone himself with Look Closer. Don't miss it."
