Prepare yourself for a roller coaster ride of a book, Mary Kubica has done it again!
Sadie and Will Foust and their kids have recently moved from the big bustling city of Chicago, to a sleepy coastal town in Maine, to a house that they have recently inherited.
To get to their new jobs, and also to the kids to school, they have to catch a ferry off of the island where they are living, they have also now have custody of Will's Niece Imogen, after his sister died unexpectedly, so there is plenty of stress around, as she is not the most welcoming person toward them all.
After only being there a few days, the family get a huge shock when one of their neighbours is murdered, and knowing that it must have happened in the night and that there isn't a ferry off of the island until early in the morning, Sadie is aware that the murderer is /was still on the island, which triggers her anxiety.
Especially when it seems that the police seem to have a ridiculous notion that she had something to do with the murder, even though she'd never even met that neighbour, and that they are new to the town.
Sadie and the rest of the family were really hoping to have a fresh start, and thought that this would be it, they really needed it.
While we are watching the Faust family come apart thread by thread, we also get 2 other characters thrown in to the loop, Camille, Sadie's former roommate and Mouse, a little girl who is being abused by her step mother.
How do they all fit together? And who the hell is the murderer?
Mary Kubica is the queen of twisty books, and this one was no different, it was creepy, very atmospheric, and I had no idea where it was going most of the time.
Grab this one as soon as you can and settle down for some serious page turning!

Such a good read, I sat on the sofa and finished the whole thing in one sitting, I nearly forgot to eat!
Following Katie, a "super recogniser" who used to work for the police, we learn that she has been in a car accident, that may have damaged her ability to recognise faces like she used to.
Until one day, she looks at her husband Rob, and realises that it isn't him at all, it is an impostor, or is it? She doesn't really know, and the more she tries to work out if it is her or her brain injury, the more crazy she starts to sound to herself, and everyone around her.
But could it be true? Could Rob be someone else? And if he is, how has it happened, and why?
A great thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Welcome to the world of Tarryn Fisher, pull up a chair, pack enough WTF in your suitcase to last you the journey, you’ll need it!!
It’s difficult to delve too much into this story without giving away spoilers, even though I want to shout OMG JUST WAIT TILL YOU GET TO THIS BIT!
Meet Thursday,
Thursday is happily married to Seth, he is a hard working businessman, and travels all over the country, so she really only gets to see him once a week, ironically on Thursday as he works away from home.
Except Seth isn’t staying in hotels when he is working away, oh no, he is visiting and staying with each of his wives! Yep you heard right, he also has Monday and Tuesday to visit on his little trips too.
You see, Seth (and his wives) are polygamists, he is married to 3 women at once, and Thursday tries her best to be happy with this situation, she makes sure that she is the ‘Best Wife’ by being that lovely old quote by Jerry Hall “You must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.”

Who likes a Romance thriller with a little twist??
And when I say twist, I mean TWISTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYY *insert gasp face here*
I am so excited for you guys that haven’t read this one yet and might pick it up, go in blind, don’t go reading loads of reviews (except this one obviously) otherwise you are probably going to stumble into a spoiler and that will ruin the whole effect.
The story jumps from ‘before’ to ‘after’ but your job is trying to guess what went on in the middle part.
Jesse is a CEO of a very successful company, she is married to Emery and they have two beautiful children. After a family tragedy Jess decides to become a Stay at home Mom, and Emery hits the big time in his career, so much so, that he needs to hire an assistant.
And so along comes Charlotte!!!
That’s it folks, that’s all I’m going to give you Mwahahahaha
