Thanks to NetGalley, Scribner, and Alice LaPlante for the opportunity to read and review her latest book. I was a huge fan of Turn of Mind and liked Circle of Wives as well. This one didn't quite live up to those in my opinion.
Jane's world collapses when her daughter is killed in an auto accident. Her and her husband divorce and she loses her job. With the help of a colleague, she takes a job in a plant nursery in Half Moon Bay. As the book progresses, we see erratic behavior from Jane - going to the beach in the wee hours, things that don't quite ring true. Then young girls start dying. Soon people and the police are looking at Jane differently.
I usually love books that slowly reveal the back story but this came across too disjointed. The writing style featured lots of very short sentences which didn't help the flow either.
