Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest (and best?) by a favorite, Alice Feeney. The audiobook was fantastic, narrated by the cast of Bel Powley, Henry Rowley, and Richard Armitage, and complete with sound effects that will totally immerse you into the story. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 5 stars!
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily like her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife. Someone is lying. Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person's date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
Oh my gosh – how many books have I read where I’ve said that there were twists and turns involved? They had nothing on this book – it had twists and turns in spades until the very end. Told from multiple perspectives and timelines, the secrets and lies will keep you guessing. I had no clue where it was going most of the time, and that ending proved the fact that I was clueless. I’m a big Alice Feeney fan, but I’ll go out on the limb and say this is my favorite. Stop reading this review and read this book – you won’t regret it! Bravo!
