Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for the opportunity to read and review this book!
This is another finely crafted crime/psychological thriller. This one is divided into many short chapters alternating between Then and Now until the final chapter, Next.
Ellie just said her marital vows and married the man of her dreams, Rob, when she finds out that her husband is not who she thought he was. Is he a killer? What lengths will she go to to protect her new husband and the life with him she so desperately wants?
Spooled out in the Then chapters, we get small glimpses of the backstories of both Ellie and Rob. They are told in many different time periods too which can at times be a little confusing. The Now chapters take place in St Lucia in the Caribbean where Ellie is forced to confront all the horrors of her husband's past. And the Next - well, I never saw that ending coming!
Definitely a darker thriller but another one I couldn't put down.
After all these psychological thrillers keeping me up at night lately though, I think I'm ready for a change of pace!
My next book is the newly-published When Breath Becomes Air.
