"Could you tell a lie without feeling guilt? Have you ever deeply hurt someone you care about? Should a punishment always fit the crime?" These are questions asked by Dr. Shields when Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study about ethics and morality. She is being paid for her answers and becomes Suspect 52. As the questions get more and more intense and invasive, Jessica's paranoia grows.

I found this book to be very unique, intriguing and suspenseful. The plot rolls out slowly but keeps the pages turning. The book is well-written and the characters seem like real people. The point of view alternates between Jessica and Dr. Shields. Lots of twists and turns lead this psychological thriller to a very surprise ending. I'm looking forward to reading Hendricks/Pekkanen's first book, The Wife Between Us, as I really enjoyed this one. I would highly recommend this book to those who love to read about obsession and power.

I would like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy of this book for an honest review.
