This book was received in a giveaway. Thanks to Henry Holt Books for this Advanced Reader Copy.
This book moves back and forth between timelines, and much of the time this is done with such craft and careful consideration. Abbot Kahler knows how to tell a story and how to draw the reader in. The first half of this book left me with so many questions and a desire to read faster to get the answers—a sign of a great suspense novel.
So much of my reading experience was enjoyable, but there was a point where the story lost momentum even as more answers were being revealed. By the last 75 pages, I was hoping for a new twist to re-engage me since so much had been sorted out by that point. I think had the pacing kept up, this would have been a 4 star read.
The topics and themes of this book were right up my alley, and I wish for just a little more consideration in the end of the book as we got in the beginning. However, this is a great fiction debut for this author, and I cannot wait to read another one by her where I think her style and pacing will be more refined.
