Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for gifting me a physical and digital ARC of this historical suspense novel by Kevin O'Brien. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
In Washington DC in 1943, Virginia Abrams was still dealing with the death of her husband at Guadalcanal, when she is raped by a powerful man in DC. She discovers she's pregnant, and fearing for her life she settles in Seattle under a new identify. She meets her neighbors and the next day one of them dies suddenly in a fall at the apartment complex, leaving her young son devastated and wanting answers. There are lots of secrets between the other residents too, and Tim is convinced that some of them have ill intents. No one can be trusted.
This is the first book I've read by this author and I'm anxious to read more, because once I started this one, I had to put life aside and finish it. I loved that there was a strong woman character and although it takes place in war times, it takes place on US soil. Virginia is a great character - she's so anxious to keep her true identify a secret, but can't help caring for the residents around her. So many good supporting characters as well - I got emotionally involved with everyone. It was sharp, tense, and atmospheric. Add this to your TBR right away!
