I finished this book more than a month ago but held off on writing a review as it was rather thought provoking. I kept wondering how I'd have felt if the man I'd been married to for 20 years had hidden the
secrets that Jack did from Sarah. While I can see that you might not want to discuss your Mom's murder in depth, even with your wife, ultimately I don't think you could ever feel the love and trust again that was destroyed by the opening of this can of worms.
The mystery and suspense was overwhelming and kept me up all night flipping pages till finally (only a few short pages from the end) I realized the who and why. I'm not real sure I bought the actions and help of the sheriff's secretary (it's a small town but still, I don't know) but the story sure kept me clutching the book so tight I thought my fingers were going to break my Kindle. It was kind of like driving on ice. I couldn't let go in case of a spin out and crash. I'm sure I sighed a breathe of release once it was over and had to get out of bed for awhile before going to sleep. Definitely, going to check out more books by Gudenkauf in the hopes there are more mysteries of this caliber on her
shelf.
