This book is about a husband who is a salesman and is offered a once in a lifetime- "too good to be true" job with unbelievable perks, including a mansion with a limo driver, cook and the perfect caretaker. He doesn't question his good fortune because he is an egotist who truly believes he deserves it. However, there is more than meets the eye to this situation and events take a turn for the worse. This book started out a little slow for me, but then picked up and ended up with some interesting twists.

Twisted and sinister, and at times a bit humorous in the way the author tells what the main characters are thinking.
Gunn Henderson, king of sales, is offered a once in a lifetime job opportunity with a 250,000 salary, plus a country club membership, private schools for the kids, and a beachside estate that comes with a caretaker, housekeeper, and a limo driver. Too good to be true? It most certainly is!
Gunn, his wife Samantha, and their children will have to pay the price for this life of luxury. Their lives are about to be turned upside down, and worse!
This is a terrifying thriller where nothing seems what it is.
I couldn't put it down from the first page to the last. The ending is both chilling and satisfying.
