Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest book by Jason Rekulak, perfectly narrated by John Pirhalla. I loved Rekulak’s debut book, The Impossible Fortress, and somehow missed reading Hidden Pictures (I’ll rectify that mistake soon!). All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars rounded up!
Frank is a UPS driver whose wife died, leaving him to raise their daughter, Maggie, mostly by himself, with the help of his sister. But an incident three years ago caused a rift between father and daughter, that no amount of trying on Frank’s part has been able to resolve. Out of the blue, Maggie contacts him to tell him that she’s getting married and she wants him at her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. She doesn’t immediately mention that she’s marrying Aidan Gardner, the son of a tech billionaire. When he arrives at the exclusive wedding at their secluded compound, with his daughter and her foster child in tow, there are lots of red flags and uncomfortable moments. But Frank is desperate to make things right with Maggie and not lose her again.
This is definitely a slow burn but gripping mystery with plenty of twists and turns. You can’t help but feel for Frank who’s trying so hard to things right again with Maggie. There are plenty of family secrets on both sides of the aisle that will leave you shocked. Full of characters that will divide easily between those you love and those you hate, I couldn’t put down this domestic suspense book. It’s atmospheric, complete with creepy crawlies, and a remote setting.
