"The police say it was suicide.
Anna says it was murder.
They're both wrong."
With a hook like that, you know it's going to be a book filled with twists and turns. And yes, it definitely is! This psychological thriller explores what happens when a daughter tries to come to terms with her parents' suicides, only to start doubting that they were suicides at all. Anna, the daughter, is a young mother a year after her parents' deaths and is moving on with her life . . . until a letter comes through her mail slot which makes her wonder if her mother was murdered.
And, the story just goes from there, picking up the pace as the pages continue. We get the viewpoint of Anna, as well as the almost-retired police officer who is looking into her parents' case. Other viewpoints occasionally get added in as the story progresses, which adds to you questioning your own assumptions about the story and the characters and their motivations. As Anna digs further to find the truth, it's clear that she's putting herself in danger (but of course, that just heightens the suspense here).
Top-notch psychological suspense here, in a book that I read on what I call "whip" speed because I was putting off housework, staying up late, and just turning page after page to find out what was going to happen.
