The two couples' paths will intertwine in a way that could destroy everything the trusting couple has worked for. As the intricate web of lies and schemes unfolds, they will find out just how thin the line between trust and betrayal is.

Reviews

[Barb Hegreberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nelson is not afraid to tackle tough topics. That being said the true-crime nerd in me appreciates the realism in the characters and settings in The Swindle. Will you guess the ending?

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
