Anna's parents committed suicide, a month apart from each other and in the exact same way. But one year later, Anna gets threatening notes that suggest her parents were murdered. She goes to the police to reopen the case, but as the truth is slowly uncovered, more questions arise. What really happened, who is involved, and is Anna in danger? Mackintosh (I Let You Go; I See You) spins readers into a web of deception and dysfunction in her newest thriller. Readers unravel the mystery through the perspectives of Anna and Murray Mackenzie, the retired detective-turned-civilian desk agent who investigates Anna's claims. Strong characterization is one of the novel's pleasures; even the secondary characters, especially Anna's uncle, Billy, and Murray's wife, Sarah, are well developed. Mackintosh's segmented storytelling requires readers to turn the pages fervently to get to the end. Verdict While not as gripping as Mackintosh's previous books, there is an innate need in this novel to know what happens. Readers will also draw parallels to other authors famous for their plot twists, such as Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn. [See Prepub Alert, 9/28/17.]-Natalie Browning, Longwood Univ.
