have two beautiful daughters together. However, all that changes when
Alexandra is being held in a room against her will. She is forced to
view her family's suffering over her disappearance and how
her family is coping with their loss. She is shown press briefings of
Marc's appeal to the public for information about his missing wife but
she can only think about her courtship and their marriage.
Marc refuses to think that his wife is dead even when they come
across her bloody belongings near the river. Marc is desperate to find
out what happened to his wife and he takes matters into his own hands.
As he begins his search, he starts to uncover secrets about his wife and
is confronted with how little he knows about her.
The
thrilling novel was an interesting read and perfect for a rainy day. I
was expecting the story have the clique murder-kidnap plot, but then
slowly it became clear what the secret is since the author littered the
story with clues. The book is predominately narrated by Alexandra after
the events have already taken place and while it was interesting, I
found the book to be a bit slow in the beginning but it did pick up
towards the middle. I am iffy on whether or not I like this book mostly
because this was the first book I couldn't really relate to the main
character nor did I really care about her. However, I do believe that
this book will leave readers with a lot of questions about identity,
art, family roles, and self-happiness.
