All the Dark Places by Terri Parlato
3.0
2.5 rounded up bc I read it without skimming.
Free Prime Reading — not great but entertaining enough. Very simple characters and plot.
Told in alternating POVs from Molly and Detective Rita.
Molly threw a birthday party for her psychiatrist husband, Jay. That night he is murdered. The suspects are the party guests : Jay’s hockey buddy, Cal, and beautiful Laken, coworker Elise and her husband Scott, and Molly’s best friend Kim and her husband Josh.
Not at the party was Molly’s sister and her husband.
There’s obviously a secret from Molly’s past. Then she starts getting phone calls and a letter, addressing her as Melanie. When she was six years old she and her friend were kidnapped by her friend’s cousin. They were held in a basement/cellar for three days. Molly doesn’t want anyone to know she’s Melanie.
SPOILER : Cal was obsessed with the case. He followed Molly’s life and befriended Jay to get close to her. His brother is the guy who originally kidnapped Molly/Melanie. There’s a weak explanation that he’s jealous that his brother got all the infamy. No explanation how he followed her all those years though. Cal kidnaps Molly but she’s saved just in time.
Spoiler : Jay found a necklace with initials engraved on it and hid it in his office. The necklace belonged to a woman who went missing months (a year?) earlier when the whole gang was at Molly and Jay’s mountain home. Cal murdered the girl and accidentally left the necklace behind. Cal killed Jay so he couldn’t turn him in.
