7.15.2020 - Shadow Garden
Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley, and Alexandra Burt for the opportunity to read and review this novel. 3.5 stars rounded up for an intriguing, but somewhat confusing, mystery.
Donna Pryor is living in a luxurious, secluded condo and has a full-time caregiver with her during the days. She is recovering from an accident that she can't quite remember. Her husband, physician Edward, and daughter, Penelope, don't call or answer her calls. Things aren't quite right in the condo either - things appear and then disappear. Finally, Donna decides that needing answers outweighs anything else.
I was very intrigued to figure out exactly what happened to all these characters. I liked hearing the very different perspectives in alternating chapters of Donna, Edward and Penelope. However, it was a bit confusing because of course the story was a bit different in each voice and the time period changed from different points in the past to the present as the story unspooled. It was a very creepy mystery and I still enjoyed getting to the conclusion!
