APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
With books including Sometimes I Lie and His & Hers establishing Alice Feeney’s rare gift for gripping psychological thrillers, excitement was at fever pitch for this one. Indeed, Netflix were busy reimagining the novel as a six-part series before its publication date. That leap of faith was justified. Here, Feeney ramps up the tension with a mysterious trip to the Scottish Highlands for Amelia and Adam Wright—a London couple desperately trying to salvage their decade-long marriage. Blackwater Chapel—the pair’s lodgings—is perhaps the real star of the book: a terrifying place full of ominous figures and dangerous ledges that Feeney writes with clear relish. The true motivations behind the trip soon unspool in horrifying detail, and it feels like there are twists every other page as we arrive towards the final act.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Londoners Amelia and Adam Wright, the couple at the center of this craftily plotted if flawed domestic thriller from bestseller Feeney (His & Hers), are spending the weekend at spooky Blackwater Chapel in the Scottish Highlands on what is meant to be a last-ditch effort to save their 10-year marriage. Each harbors darker agendas for the weekend, as does the mysterious, hermit-like neighbor, Robin, who frightens Amelia when Amelia catches the woman peering at her through a chapel window. The plot takes some perilous turns in ways both predictable—a power outage, dangerously loose stones in the wall of the chapel's belfry—and not, as alternating narrations from the trio open a Pandora's box packed with secrets, lies, and betrayals. Feeney's signature misdirection sets up gasp-worthy twists down the stretch even if they, like the characters, come off as arbitrary and artificial. In contrast to His & Hers, some may walk away from this one feeling more snookered than satisfied.
