Let me see what I can say without spoiling the outcome of the book...The story is told from the perspective of both husband and wife, alternating back and forth throughout the book. The reader is led to a certain conclusion about the wife's disappearance halfway through the book, but hang on tight. This rollercoaster takes a twisty, turny sidepath in the second half. It's a psychological journey with black comedy and plenty of irony sprinkled in the mix. I loved it.
