Content Warnings

This is a twisty page turner that I highly recommend. It has an interesting plot device; each chapter switches perspectives between the protagonist who is trying to solve the mystery of his wife’s disappearance, and a fictional book chapter written by the missing wife. The lines between fact and fiction become blurry, and the mystery unfolds in a twisty way that I didn’t see coming. The story is set in Massachusetts: in places like Boston, Cambridge, Provincetown and Truro, and I always enjoy reading about landmarks and towns where I live. I discovered this title through the Overdrive/Libby group read and decided to give it a spin. I knew nothing about it, and it turned out to be an entertaining surprise.
