Maggie Boyd's Reviews > Under Your Skin

Gaby is out on a run when she discovers the body of a young woman in the woods. She calls the police, answers their questions, goes to work (she's on a show like Regis and Kelly), discusses the horror of it all with friends and colleagues. The police come back. More questions. Gaby starts to get a slight sense that things may not be all they seem.

While the cover tells us that Gaby "has it all" any grown woman knows there is no such thing. Your husband may be perfect to strangers but at home he can be less than ideal. Children are always a challenge. Your job can be someone else's dream and your nightmare filled with stress. That is all true for Gaby. She and her husband started out simpler and with each layer of success there has been distance and stress. Gaby now lives in a beautiful home her spouse constantly wants to improve, has an au pair for her one child when she wanted multiple kids she raised herself and works as a talking head when she started out as a journalist. That pseudo-perfection starts to unravel when the police take a hard look at her as the possible killer of the woman she found in the woods.

This is a psychological thriller which leaves you guessing to the very end. Easy to read and engrossing, I found I couldn't put it down once I started.
