Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest thriller by Alice Feeney. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 5 stars!
Author Grady Green calls his wife to share some exciting news as she’s driving home. But as they are talking Abby gets out of the car and is never seen from again. One year later, Grady is still devastated and desperate to know what happened. He can no longer write and is not taking care of himself. His agent gives him an opportunity to stay on a small Scottish island in a writer’s previous cottage to try and regroup. But as soon as he arrives, he sees a woman who looks just like his missing wife.
Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do.
I loved this one – Alice Feeney at her best. A locked room-type mystery, taking place on a small Scottish island with only 25 year-round inhabitants. The setting is almost another character, because you can feel the isolation, feel the weather coming off the sea, the cold damp feeling settling in your bones. Plus, there is a group of characters that left you wondering who you could trust and what was real. The audiobook was fantastic, complete with sound effects at the beginning of each chapter, immersing the reader even further. I couldn’t stop listening to this one and loved every twist and turn along the way!
