This has a great opening. It starts off with Karen Krupp being whisked into hospital after being in a high speed car crash where she collided with a lamp post. And she gets amnesia, so she cannot explain why she was driving so fast in the first place or why she was in that particular part of town.
Her husband Tom is trying to make sense of it all and has his world turned even more upside down when it turns out a body of a man who has been shot was found near to where Karen crashed her car.
And then there is the neighbour Brigid who lives across the road. She pushes her way into the story and tries to sniff out what is happening.
What I quickly figured out is that no one is as they seem and that sometimes is best to stop guessing and just let the story happen. Which is just as well because I didn’t guess the ending!
It has a similar feel to The Girl on the Train with its tension, mystery and unreliable narrator. So if that’s right up your street you should be reading this book.
I really liked it - it kept me guessing right until the end and there was no convenient ending. It felt real and also plausible, which is sometimes hard to find at the end of some books.
Looking forward to reading more books by this author.
