Many thanks to NetGalley, Ballantine Books and Nina Sadowsky for the opportunity to read and review this book - I loved it and couldn't put it down!
Like her first book, Just Fall, this is a finely-crafted psychological thriller but I liked it even better. Constructed with short chapters and alternating points of view, this story is spooled out in a unique and totally satisfying way. I especially loved the little precursors to each section.
I don't want to give too much away because you need to just read this book without knowing much! Catherine is the "narrator" of this book and her portions of the story are told in first person. She is in charge of The Burial Society - a secret organization that takes women out of abuse situations and sets them up with new lives.
The plot centers around the Burrows family - dad Brian, mom Mallory - who had gone missing previously and presumed dead, son Jake, daughter Natalie as well as Uncle Frank, Brian's brother. The rest of the chapters are told in the voices of this family. The family is in Paris for Brian's job when another tragedy befalls.
There is a lot of mystery, secrets, intrigue going on in this book and I raced through it to figure it all out. Enough said - read it!
