PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Rekulak (Hidden Pictures) impresses with this engrossing tale of a widowed father who starts to sense darkness beneath his daughter's impending marriage. When Poconos-based UPS driver Frank Szatowski receives a call from his estranged daughter, Maggie, he's overjoyed to learn that she's engaged to artist Aidan Gardner, the son of tech billionaires Catherine and Errol Gardner, and wants Frank to attend the wedding. With the ceremony scheduled at the Gardners' New Hampshire estate in just three months, Frank attempts to develop a rapport with his future son-in-law, but Aidan withdraws. Soon, Frank receives an anonymous piece of mail that suggests Aidan was involved with the disappearance of a young woman named Dawn Taggart. When he arrives in New Hampshire for the wedding, Frank feels immediately suspicious—all guests must sign NDAs, and much of the event staff is ex-military. When the body of Aidan's art school friend, Gwen, is found under the dock on the estate, Frank decides to investigate the Gardners' tangled web before it ensnares his daughter—but what he finds recasts ideas about his own family. Certain twists are a touch predictable, but Rekulak's characters feel real, and the unwavering pace will keep readers up all night. This should please the author's existing fans and win him new ones.
