I feel like the plot twist with the main character was seen from a mile away. Now the other plot twist redeemed the whole thing and I was appreciative although far fetched that he could hide all that…but whatever I don’t read for reality

I started out really liking this book. The story was just mysterious and suspenseful enough to keep me reading on. By the middle of the book, I was becoming more disappointed in what was happening, and especially how the main character, Sadie, was handling everything. She seemed weak, directionless, gullible and easily manipulated. She’s a doctor! She went to school successfully and practiced, but she repeatedly failed to trust herself and her gut, it was frustrating. I raced through the last pages just to make sure I finished the book, just to get it “over with” and that is never a good sign. I rated the book a 3 because a 2 seemed too low and I liked other books by this Kubrick.
This was my first book I’ve read by Mary Kubica and she did not disappoint.👍Sadie’s family is new on the island trying to have a change of pace but their neighbor has just been murdered with no idea who done it.💀The twists were good and honestly I didn’t have a full handle on what was gonna happen most of the time.🤔The audiobook was solid and the story kept me intrigued and thinking the whole time.The ending was satisfying and I will definitely check out more by this author in the future.🤯🐭🤥👩⚕️☠️

Sadie e Will se mudam com os filhos para uma pequena cidade no Maine em busca de um novo começo após as traições dele e por terem herdado uma casa velha (irmã de Will) e uma sobrinha difícil de lidar para cuidar. Quando a vizinha, Morgan, é assassinada o responsável pela investigação recebe a informação que Sadie e ela discutiram na noite anterior, ainda que Sadie negue veementemente a informação. A história vai girando nesse assassinato e em Sadie tentando descobrir o que houve. Percebi que ela tinha múltiplas personalidades quando os filhos falam de algo que ela fez (brincar com um e mandar outro levar uma faca para a escola) e ela não se lembra de jeito nenhum. Camille e Mouse são as personalidades alternativas de Sadie. Ela não sabe, mas seu marido descobriu e estava usando Camille para matar pessoas. Will, matou sua namorada do colégio (Erin) por traí-lo e encobriu o ocorrido como um acidente de carro. Quando Will e Sadie se mudaram para o Maine, eles, sem saber, se mudaram para a rua da irmã mais nova da namorada, Morgan. Morgan suspeitava que Will havia matado sua irmã e foi confrontá-lo. Ele convenceu Camille a matá-la. Ela segue pistas e descobre que foi manipulada pelo marido. A sobrinha gravou a confissão de Will enquanto ele tentava matar Sadie. Ótimo livro, mas já havia desconfiado da condição de Sadie (pelos maus-tratos que sofreu da madrasta) e que ela, suspeita óbvia, não seria a assassina.
