A New York Times Book Review and Washington Post "Top-10 Thriller of the Year"

A New Yorker, Vogue, Esquire, Elle, and Bookshop.org "Best Book of the Year'

Conor O’Toole has never been anywhere like Cutters Neck, a gated community near Cape Cod. It’s a sweet deal for the summer: in exchange for tennis lessons, he receives free lodging in a luxurious guest cottage, far from the cramped Yonkers apartment he shares with his diabetic mother.

In this oceanfront paradise, however, new clients prove hard to come by, and Conor has bills to pay. When Catherine, a sharp-tongued divorcée, offers double his usual rate, he soon realizes she is expecting additional, off the court services for her money, and Conor tumbles into a secret erotic affair unlike anything he’s experienced before.

Despite his steamy flings with a woman twice his age, he simultaneously finds himself falling for an artsy, outspoken girl he meets on the beach. With cautious, strategic planning, Conor somehow manages this tangled web—until he makes one final, irreversible mistake.

A dark, explosive literary thriller that brilliantly skewers the elite, Whiting Award winner Teddy Wayne’s unputdownable novel is cinematic, shocking, and a psychological masterpiece.

This was a little bit difficult to get to. It takes a while to get to the insight incident, but once you do, you will find yourself in a place of uncomfortable tension. This book feels like a cross between the great Gatsby and the talented Mr. Ripley. I don’t know that I would call it a thrill ride, but it was certainly an interesting book.

As a sidenote, I completed this book as part of a prerequisite for school. And therefore have the book on both audio and on my Kindle.

Epilogue: Connor was arrested 2 days after he began his new law firm position. The Mercedes screen was located at a chop shop and his phone records nailed his eventual new prison address. Perfect crimes are committed by imperfect people.
