Sometimes, it's easier to walk away than make it work. Or maybe it's a better solution to just get someone completely out of the way of your new life.
Is that what happened with Matt and his wife, Marie? While on a hike, Matt frantically tells park rangers that Marie has fallen off a cliff into the raging river below. No one could have survived that fall; it was a tragic accident. Or was it? Matt's first wife died under suspicious circumstances. And when the police pull a body out of the river, Matt faces even more questions. This character-driven story is written with a taught, steadily increasing pace that will have you turning the pages (and probably staying up past your bedtime to read)!
I enjoyed that this story is character-driven and you get the perspectives of Matt and Marie, as well as some of the police detectives who are investigating what happened. It's an interesting way to get a fuller perspective and also adds some rich layers to the story. I don't like referring to Gone Girl (yet again, as so many book blurbs seem to), but this has some of the same appeal factors: a steady pace, unlikely characters (who may just be misunderstood) and some plot twists that keep you guessing.
