APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Nothing is as it seems in this atmospheric thriller from Alice Feeney. It’s been a year since the disappearance of writer Grady Green’s wife, and he’s since fallen victim to depression, destitution, and…writer’s block. So when his agent offers him the chance to stay at a writing lodge on a remote Scottish island, he goes for it. But the small, isolated island offers more than he expected, like breathtaking scenery, a community of eccentric villagers—and maybe answers about the mystery of his lost wife. Alice Feeney once again proves why she is called the Queen of Twists. We were floored by her complex plot involving a missing journalist, a hidden manuscript, and a desperate author who’s left questioning his sanity. Actors Richard Armitage and Tuppence Middleton do a fantastic job with the dual narration, and the subtle use of ambient sounds like crashing waves, tolling bells, and realistic-sounding telephone conversations pulled us even deeper into the tension.
