David Ellis’ novel Look Closer delves into the lives of a wealthy Chicago couple, Simon and Vicky, whose seemingly normal marriage conceals deep secrets. When a socialite is murdered, their lies begin to unravel, exposing affairs, hidden fortunes, and schemes of revenge. Both characters are deceitful, prompting readers to question who is truly conning whom in this gripping tale of greed and the potential for the perfect murder.
