This is my new favourite Alice Feeney book! I read it in two sittings in a 24-hour period. If I could've read it all at once, I would've. And THAT TWIST?! I was gobsmacked! I saw a few reviews that said it was unrealistic, but if you pay close attention at the beginning of the book, there's a part that sets it up and makes it make sense. At least it did for me. Grady was an unreliable narrator, and for much of the novel, I had *no* idea where the story was going, but the atmospheric setting and the locked room vibe made it unputdownable! 

This one releases on Tuesday, and you're going to want to grab a copy!
