Two years ago Morgan Persephone's` husband David disappeared,vanished,without a trace.
At least that's what their friends and family believe. Only Morgan knows that he didn't just disappear,he's not missing or ran off with another woman. David,is in fact dead and Morgan knows this because she killed him
At least she was certain that she had but now she's not so sure. Because to her shock and horror,she had just seen a man in the background of a photo who looks uncannily like her dead husband. A man who has the same very short hair,the same wrinkles around the corners of his eyes and knowing smirk.
Is David really still alive? If he is,then where has he been hiding for the last two years? Or does Morgan have an unknown enemy who is playing mind games with her for their own twisted amusement?
This utterly enthralling thriller is narrated entirely by Morgan and is written in short,snappy chapters that flip back and forth between Now and Then. (The then chapters starting three years,ten months in the past then progressing through time until they reach two years,one month) The chapters that were set in the past told the story of Morgan and David's relationship and the circumstances that resulted in his alleged death. In the chapters set in the present day, we follow Morgan as she struggles to figure out what is going on. She is pretty certain that David is dead but the image in the photo has planted a seed of doubt inside her head,and it doesn't take long before that seed takes root and begins to grow. I wouldn't say anyone in the small cast of characters was very likeable. From the very start of the story I didn't like Morgan very much and that opinion didn't change at all as the story unfolded.
As readers have come to expect from a book written by Kerry Wilkinson and one of the reasons why I love his books so much is that there is no faffing about or pages and pages of scene setting and character introductions. The reader is immediately launched into the action from the very first chapter,the story rockets along and keeps you hooked in and frantically turning the pages. The short snappy chapters give the reader a very bad case of just one more chapter syndrome. I love this extremely talented authors,tightly plotted,twisty thrillers and can't wait to discover what his vivid imagination will conjure up for his next book. Very very highly recommended.
