One of the hundred books a year I read:

This twisty thriller follows two women, Meg Williams and Kat Roberts, locked in a complicated game of deception and revenge.

Con artist Meg adopts new identities in every town she visits and targets men to destroy. No matter how great their stature prior to Meg’s arrival in their lives, they are crushed and humilated—and financially poorer—when she disappears.

Journalist Kat recognizes Meg from a previous con from years earlier, a moment that derailed Kat’s life when she met while chasing a story. Kat, guessing Meg doesn’t recognize her, assumes her own false identity to get close to Meg to figure out what con she’s pulling this round so she can expose her.

As Kat draws closer to Meg, the lies expand to a dangerous level, threatening to expose both women. But does Meg’s target deserve the fate about to befall him? Is Meg’s revenge about something more than money?
