Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty

5.0

This book was fantastic. I read it in its entirety this weekend and I couldn't put it down. Very well-written and suspenseful without it feeling like a "mystery". I didn't feel a strong connection to the characters, but I did to the story. The author did a great job at dropping little gems of what would be coming later in the story throughout the story to keep you glued, but at the same time, not ruining it for you. I thought it was going in a completely different direction than it did, but that's ok. It was perfect the way it was. Highly recommend this book for when you have a couple free days with nothing planned, because you won't want to stop reading until you're finished.
