genre: thriller
Eden Fox and her husband Harrison have just purchased a beautiful new cottage on the coast of Cornwall, the perfect place for a new start. But when Eden gets home from a run one evening, the door is locked and when Harrison arrives at the door - he doesn't know her. Scrambling for a way to figure out what's happening, Eden turns to the police but no one in town seems to know who she is. It's a nightmare scenario with no easy solution. But Eden's not the only point of view we read this story from and soon this story has more narrators and more reveals to uncover. And that's before the body even ends up on the scene.
Well, turns out I can be really critical when it comes to mysteries and thrillers. My brain could NOT handle the plot holes and dangling threads. The story was so whiplashy and with so many bait-and-switches that I actually had a hard time keeping them straight. And then the last few chapters just blew it ALL out of the water and I wasn't left feeling satisfied, unfortunately. Also, I'm sorry, but the writing is just not good. Super repetitive and clunky. It felt slapdash, honestly. However, despite all that, I did want to finish reading it so, two stars for that.
