A teenager is killed during a family vacation, and years later, her sister has a chance encounter with the prime suspect.  This book claims itself a mystery, but the whodunit is just there as a way to encounter these many characters and perspectives, and see the lives they live both before the tragedy, and the years after.  While the actual plot points are a bit cliched, they are written and explored well, though the middle of the book becomes a bit too slow.  Still, an overall enjoyable read.

Was excited to get my hands on this book, but Celadon has disappointed me. I really enjoyed The Silent Patient, but did not care for The Whisper Man. Saint X was a new release by Celadon and I was hoping for a good book like silent patient. So very disappointed. The author missed the mark in so many ways.
