APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Sometimes knowing the truth is worse than staying in the dark. Best-selling thriller writer Mary Kubica (The Good Girl) draws us into a horrifying mystery about small-town secrets. Sadie Foust and her husband, Will, have seen more than their fair share of dysfunction, so when Will’s sister dies, leaving the Fousts her home and custody of her teenage daughter, the couple decide to embrace the change and move from Chicago to rural Maine. Unfortunately, when a brutal murder happens right next door just after they move in, the whole town starts giving the newcomers side-eye, and the terrible secrets Will and Sadie left behind all threaten to come to light. Kubica is an expert at playing with our expectations—every new conflict puts us further on edge, especially since almost no one in the Fousts’ new hometown is what they first appear to be. Her white-knuckle thriller kept us off-balance until the final twist, a shocking reveal that made us want to read the whole thing all over again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this convoluted psychological thriller from bestseller Kubica (When the Lights Go Out), physician Sadie Foust and her professor husband, Will, have inherited his sister Alice's house, on an island off the coast of Maine, after Alice's apparent suicide. They have also agreed to accept guardianship for Alice's understandably troubled 16-year-old daughter, Imogen. Despite the tragedy, Sadie sees a chance for a new start with Will and their two boys, 14-year-old Otto and seven-year-old Tate. She would like to move past Will's affair, as well as an alarming school incident with Otto and a mistake that forced her to resign from her former position in Chicago. However, Imogen's increasingly threatening behavior causes tension among the family, and the murder of a neighbor's new wife throws their lives into a tailspin when Sadie becomes a suspect. Red herrings litter the multiple narratives, adding too much weight to an already overloaded plot, and a soapy twist disappoints. Hopefully, this is a temporary slump for the talented Kubica.
