Now in paperback, the newest novel from Clare Mackintosh, the international bestselling author of I Let You Go and I See You The police say it was suicide. Anna says it was murder. They're both wrong. Last year, Tom and Caroline Johnson chose to end their lives, one seemingly unable to live without the other. Their daughter, Anna, is struggling to come to terms with her parents' deaths, unwilling to accept the verdict of suicide. Now with a baby herself, Anna feels her mother's absence keenly and is determined to find out what really happened to her parents. But as she digs up the past, someone is trying to stop her. Sometimes it's safer to let things lie....

La storia ci viene raccontata attraverso tre punti di vista diversi, quello della protagonista Anna, del detective in pensione Murray che si occuperà dell’indagine e il terzo punto di vista è anonimo solo alla fine si capisce chi è che narrava la storia. Mi so ritrovata a sospettare perfino del cane, ma di certo non pensavo che fosse così difficile capire chi c’era dietro e come erano andate veramente le cose. Un thriller interessante e diverso dal solito ti rapisce pagina dopo pagina. Nulla è scontato e le rivelazioni ti lasciano con l’amaro in bocca e il lettore rimane piacevolmente sorpreso dalla piega presa dagli eventi. Non vedo l’ora di leggere altro di questa autrice.

2.5 rounded down. Ugh. This was such a slog to get through. The characters were soulless and tedious (except Rita, I love me a good literary pup). The chapters told from Murray Mackenzie's perspective were the bright spots for me, and I would like to see a continuation of the story for him.Despite the many twists (and they were *fine*?), I never felt like I was trying to keep up with the book or that I was somehow out of the loop, and I think that's where it failed for me. On the whole, the plot twists were predictable, and even the one I didn't totally see coming wasn't a surprise. A real disappointment for me, because I adored both I Let You Go and I See You. Mackintosh has just finished the last chapter of her next book (according to Twitter), so I'm hoping to be brought back into the fold with that one.
