Out now! [Thank you to the publisher for providing a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review! Note that my review is of my BOTM finished copy rather than the ARC, though I cherish my twins equally]
Rating: 4/5 stars
Molly Raven is leading a quiet life in London when she gets a call she never expected—her twin sister, Katie, has been found dead in New York. But the journey to discovering what happened to Katie might be a lot more complicated than it seems…
I really enjoyed this book! It’s a bit of a quieter thriller in some ways (I wasn’t scared at any point), but was engaging and entertaining the whole time. I immediately felt connected to Molly and her anxieties and couldn’t wait to find out what would happen—it was definitely the kind of book I breezed through super quickly because I needed to know what happened next!
I also had so much trouble predicting the twists, even though they all made sense in hindsight. I love when a thriller can keep me on my toes but not feel like it’s bringing things in from left field, and this one rode that line so perfectly.
Finally, having been to New York quite a few times despite never living there, I loved how the city is, in some ways, an extra character here, and the location descriptions were spot-on and added to the atmosphere of the whole book.
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: detailed settings; plausible but still shocking twists; complicated family dynamics.
CW: Murder/death/blood; anxiety/mental illness; grief/loss of loved one.
