When I started this book it screamed Gone Girl. I loved the book, hated the movie and I was unsure of how to proceed. But I was interested and wanted to know what happened, I will tell you in one day I read this book because I could not put it down. The ending is not what I would have liked, but the book was full of suspense and twists and turns! Very different than Ellison's regular flare, so be ready!
A stand alone novel. Twisty, short chapters, his POV, her POV, friends taking sides, & a police detective trying to make heads or tails of the whole mess. Ethan & his wife Sutton are narcissistic beautiful people who both write books & are liars. Something is amiss when Ethan wakes up & his wife is gone leaving a note that says she's unhappy and needs time away and not to look for her. He freaks, her friends freak, and the investigation begins. Did Ethan kill his wife? Do her friends know where she is? Trying to determine which side is the truth and which side is a lie makes for a fast paced engaging novel well worth the read.
One of the worst I've ever tried to read, and I mean tried
The people were so unlikeable it takes a lot away from the very beginning and as the pages turned it just got boring again and again
The husband I guess was English and Ellison tried to write with words that sound Englishist? Words and phrases that don't make any sense?
I didn't get to the part that Sutton showed up in Paris, by that time I lost interest and didn't care what happened to any of them.
It's been compared as a sorry copy of Gone Girl, I didn't read that one either and the movie wasn't great.
