The Couple in the Photo by Helen Cooper
3.0
The premise of this book was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed the ending, however the pacing was a little off for me.
Lucy is a teacher and when she looks at a coworkers honeymoon photos she sees a familiar face posing with a beautiful woman. Scott is the husband of her best friend Cora and her husband, Adam’s best friend. The only problem? The woman in the photo is not Cora. When Lucy sees a news report about a woman missing in the Maldives she immediately recognizes the woman as the woman in the photo with Scott.
The concept was great and the first couple of chapters were really gripping, but then it began to drag out and it felt like not much was happening for a while. It picked up the pace again with the ending, but it really could have been trimmed down to keep the book moving from those first few engrossing chapters.
Overall I enjoyed the story, but the pacing was a bit to inconsistent.
