This book is set in the 1960s about a deeply troubled family and three women who will reveal its dark truths. Angie Glass is living in Wisconsin with her husband, Paul and her baby boy. She receives a phone call that changes her life forever. Paul's niece, Ruby, reports that her father, Henry, has committed suicide, and that her mother, Silja, is missing. Angie and Paul drop everything and fly to the small upstate town of Stonekill, New York to be by Ruby's side. As Angie learns more about the complicated Glass family, staying in Henry and Silja's eerie and ultra-modern house on the edge of the woods, she begins to question the very fabric of her own marriage. Told in flashbacks, this is a story of love, secrets, and ultimate betrayal. This is a slow-moving story that held my attention to the very end. Packed with suspense from the 40's and 60's with lots of cultural and atmospheric details. Great characters and excellent plot. I will definitely seek out her other book, The Bookseller.
