Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Peter Swanson. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Thom and Wendy Graves have been married for over twenty-five years. They live in a beautiful Victorian on the north shore of Massachusetts. Wendy is a published poet and Thom teaches English literature at a nearby university. Their son, Jason, is all grown up. All is well….except that Wendy wants to murder her husband. What happens next has everything to do with what happened before.
This was such a creative way to tell this story and I thought it was wonderful. We begin in 2023 and work our way back to 1982, when Thom and Wendy were 14. The reader is privy to the key moments in the couple's lives and that secret that they share. This book makes you think, because each chapter backwards fills in more of the puzzle, all up to that final/beginning chapter. I felt like I wanted to read it over again starting from the end to see if I missed anything, but bravo on such a creative twist!
