8.11.2021 - 56 Days

 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard

Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Catherine Ryan Howard - 5 stars!

56 days ago - Ciara and Oliver meet in a grocery store just as Covid-19 becomes a threat to Ireland.  35 days ago - Ciara and Oliver decide to move into his apartment when the 2-week lockdown hits so that they can explore their relationship in a bubble.  Today - a deceased body is found in Oliver's apartment.

Enough said!  I absolutely love a cleverly-told, original tale and loved the way the author told this story.  We get multiple timelines and get to see things unfold from both Ciara's and Oliver's POV.  Both of them are keeping big secrets.  Adding the initial horror of Covid-19 just adds to the tension - we all remember wiping down our groceries and being scared of everything (not sure that's still in the past but still!).  Highly recommended!
