My post on Good Reads-
This is a fast-paced thriller, that's a literary vortex of confusing points of view and dizzying conflicts. You're never sure what happened or why until the very last page, and even then, you wonder how things will 'really' end. I highly recommend this book!
My favorite Mystery format is, 'a tale told by an unreliable narrator', and in this gripping psychological thriller, you get two of them! The novel is about the disintegrating marriage of Nick and Amy. They are a couple of Manhattan writers who have lost their jobs, and have moved to rural Missouri to live in Nick's family home and oversee the care of Nick's father who suffers from dementia. The chapters alternate between Nick and Amy's point of view, and then suddenly Nick comes home to find that Amy has vanished. And, it looks as if a violent struggle had taken place. But, what really happened, and is it Nick or Amy who is the malign force in their disastrous marriage.
