The topic of digging into people’s pasts is always exciting and can feature many fresh takes, such as what happens when that person actually does have something to hide.
The way the story is told is exceptionally engaging, and the first-person narration really allows the reader to slip into the protagonist’s shoes and empathize with her and with how she sees the world. It’s a believable portrayal of a mother’s world slowly falling to pieces.
The style seems crisp and observant, and some scenes are particularly memorable because of the vivid descriptions and the author’s ability to capture emotions. The successful and highly plausible red herrings thoughout the book particularly add to its charm.
The twist in the end was a clever solution, even though the ending itself seemed a little rushed, and it felt like more clues throughout the novel pointing in the right direction were needed. Maybe this would feel different after a second reading, though.
Overall, it’s really one of the most enjoyable thrillers I’ve read lately.
