"Owen's wife was murdered. His best friend, Luna, found the body. Everything and everyone is thrown into question in this riveting suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Passenger. Owen is rich, charming, and chronically dissatisfied. His life is forever entangled with Luna Grey, his no-nonsense best friend who is struggling to hide her dark past. From the fateful day they meet in college, the two become inextricably linked. They can't be mentioned without the other: Owen and Luna, Luna and Owen. In addition to their own trove of personal secrets, there is the deadly one they share. It forges a bond that will last decades. Years later, Owen disappears on his wife, Irene, for hours, mostly to spend time drinking with Luna. Luna is now an assistant to the eccentric and reclusive artist Leo Whitman, who also happens to be Irene's stepfather. But when Irene is found dead, the victim of a brutal crime, it unleases a torrent of secrets from the past as well as everything they would have preferred to have kept hidden in the present. Despite their innocence, the murder causes the walls to quickly close in around them. The Accomplice examines the intense relationship between two very different misanthropic best friends. What happens when one of them takes a sledgehammer to their bond and the other lights that wreckage on fire? If secrets are what kept Owen and Luna together, they just might tear them apart, too. If they let them"--… (altro)

I liked this thriller about an odd, intense friendship between Luna and Owen and the deaths they seem to collect around them. It kept me entertained and I read it compulsively until they end. I'd read more by Lisa Lutz when I'm in the mood for this sort of thing. ( )

I feel very ambivalent about this book. The writing is good - the story made me want to gouge my eyes out AND go to rehab. Not a comfortable tale. ( )

Luna and Owen begin forming a bond the moment they meet in college. Their names soon become indivisible and stay that way even after an unexplained death rocks their social circle. Years later, they're still best friends when Luna finds Owen's wife brutally murdered. To get to the heart of what happened and why, Luna has to dig up the one secret she's spent her whole life burying.

The story moves at a pretty good pace as a lot happens with Luna and Owen throughout the story. There’s also a sprinkling of humor but Luna and Owen were not likeable to me. I never got drawn into the story but it did keep my interest enough to want to know how things would work out. ( )

Thanks to NetGalley and all for an ARC copy of this book in return for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book from beginning to end! It sucked me in from the start and kept the ride going the whole way through. I loved how thoroughly developed the characters were without ever feeling slow in the plot. The change in timelines tells two (or three) different stories but also each storyline builds the current plotline.
There were a couple times in which the wording felt funny, the text would include multiple perspectives in one sentence, "she thought... but he thought..." This just felt a little awkward to me but it only happened a few times.
The chapters changed perspective but the character development was so well done that it was quickly obvious who's perspective you were reading from.
Just an all-around great read for me! ( )
