Hands down, this is one of the best books I have read this year! I don't think I know enough adjectives to describe just how good this book really was.
Young boys are going missing from the Faulkner Islands. One has been found dead ... but it was ruled an accident. The local law enforcement is insisting that two others have most likely had devastating accidents and been swept away by the sea.
This book is told by three people ... people who's lives have been changed for all time.
Catrin ... For the past 3 years she's been only a shell of the woman she used to be. Her two young sons were killed in a tragic accident, an accident caused by her then best friend. Catrin spends her days plotting and planning how to kill Rachel, her former best friend.
Rachel ... It was her fault for leaving Catrin's children in the back of the car when she went to meet Ben, Catrin's husband. The car rolled and went over a cliff, killing both children at once. Rachel has never forgiven herself ...
Callum ... the man in love with Catrin. He was the one who pulled Catrin's children out of the car. He and Catrin had a love affair that ended with those deaths.
Their lives are all intertwined .. secrets upon secrets, lies upon lies. The tension starts building from the first page. The grief and sadness and anger are palpable. And when Rachel's son goes missing, the island erupts like a spewing volcano.
Did Catrin take her son? Is there a killer on this small island?
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! I could NOT put this book down and the ending shocked me to the core.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes a really good psychological mystery. This is one book you won't easily forget.
