Many thanks to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Megan Collins for the opportunity to read and review her latest thriller. I loved The Winter Sister and her sophomore book is also a winner. 4 stars for a dark and disturbing thriller!
Fern Douglas has a debilitating anxiety order that she works on all the time. Her husband, Eric, a doctor, is very supportive and she can lean on him when she is spiraling. But when she sees that a decades-old kidnapping of a woman is back in the news because she has disappeared again, Fern feels that she has a connection to the woman, Astrid. When Fern's dad, Ted, asks her to come back home and help him back for his impending move, it puts her back in the area where the original crime took place. Although Fern has no concrete memory of that time, she has disturbing dreams that she begins to think could be actual memories. But no one will believe her.
Told from Fern's point of view as well as through excerpts from Astrid's book about her kidnapping experience, we follow Fern as she tries to understand what happened in the past as well as to find Astrid now.
Without giving anything away, this book is disturbing on so many levels - but good disturbing in that you will want to continue reading to figure out all the details.
