I recently read A Trick of the Eye by Jane Stanton Hitchcock, which I downloaded from Overdrive library based on the synopsis.

Spoiler:


I did not like that the crazy old lady destroyed the main character's hard work.

I found the reason the crazy old lady hired the main character really far-fetched (she wanted to adopt an adult daughter - the young woman would basically have to give up her preexisting life in exchange for a lot of money).

The main character's meeting with crazy lady's former son-in-law was also pretty weird (he showed the main character a sex video of himself and his late wife?!)

What I hated the most was that the main character's supposed close friend turned out to have been helping the crazy old lady; until that point he seemed to have been the one nice person in the story.
