I enjoyed this book pretty well. I think it was not constructed as well as it could have been... I kept wondering whether it was really just an internal exploration of what it means to know someone or whether it was also supposed to be a mystery of what happened to the narrator's wife. Turned out it was a bit of both, but mostly the former. There is also an interesting parallel story of the narrator's investigation of a missing American in Peru. I think I would have appreciated understanding from the get-go how much of the book would involve this story and whether it as well would have any closure. (It did.)

I really enjoyed this book. Its really really good. A twist ending that I never saw coming. Great read.
David & Jessica have almost everything they could want. He is an accomplished journalist, and she teaches at an elite private school. A perfect life some would say. But, how well do you really know a person? This is a tale about the appearances and disappearances that makes you really think about the characters, and what it forces you to see in yourself
