Bobcat Reads: Look Closer by David Ellis
Bobcat Reads will be discussing Look Closer by David Ellis from May 23, 2025 through July 25, 2025.
Look Closer by David Ellis centers on wealthy Chicago couple Simon and Vicky, whose seemingly stable marriage hides a tangle of secrets. When a socialite is found dead, their carefully constructed lives begin to crumble, revealing a whirlwind affair, a looming twenty-million-dollar trust fund, and a long-held desire for revenge. Both Simon and Vicky are skilled liars, leaving the reader to question who is truly manipulating whom in this intricate tale of greed, obsession, and the potential for a flawless murder.
