Hi everyone, very excited to discuss Look Closer by David Ellis
To introduce myself, I work as a director for a database company and in my free time, I read/listen to mystery/thrillers and spend time with my 2 kittens. Most of the time I play with them while listening to audiobooks :)
Regarding this book, I actually listened to it couple months ago while driving and I liked it so much that I bought a physical copy and will be reading it in detail. I really liked the chemistry between different characters and their narratives and motivations
As we dive in, let’s share our first impressions. What hooked you early on, and who do you trust so far (if anyone)? Looking forward to hearing everyones thoughts as the story unfolds.

Summary
Simon and Vicky couldn't seem more a wealthy Chicago couple with a stable, if unexciting, marriage. But with these two... absolutely nothing is what it seems. When a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky's complex web of secrets begins to unravel. A whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and an obsession with revenge. Both Vicky and Simon are liars--but just who exactly is conning who? Prepare to question everything you think you know in this wickedly clever novel of greed, revenge, obsession--and quite possibly the perfect murder.
