Shell Game by Rumaan Alam
3.0
During a summer trip with his family, including his wife's, Rachel, twin brother, Geoff and his wife, Sarah, Mark questions everything he knows about his family and himself.
This is the sixth and last short story in the Getaway collection, and it was my least favorite of them all. Where was the mystery, the suspense, the thrill we were promised? It's the shortest of the six, so I figured it would be jam pack with twisted goodness. It's just confusingly weird, and nothing really happens. I was expecting something creepy going on between the twins, but I was highly disappointed. And the pedophile undertone was really unnerving.
