Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster | Atria Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Jessa Maxwell. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4 stars!
Orla and her best friend grew up on Hadley Island, and Orla was enamored with rich boy David who summered there. But when Alice disappeared, everything changed. Years later, Orla is back on the island to get her family home ready to sell. David is also back at his family mansion along with his girlfriend, Faith. But things aren't going the way anyone planned this summer.
Told from dual timelines and from the POV of Orla, Faith, and Henry, who is a loner living on a private island who was always blamed for Alice's death. This is a very atmospheric story with remote island settings from both the very rich to the very neglected. Plus, there are multiple mysteries, not only what happened to Alice in the past but a young girl goes missing in the present. This is a quick read that kept me interested from the beginning, with some unexpected twists along the way. I'm a fan of Maxwell's and look forward to her next book as well.
