I picked up this one on Kindle Unlimited on the basis of a youtube video from Well Read Beard, one of my favorite Booktubers that I regularly watch. He's usually on target for me and he definitely was with this one. This is a very good dark crime novel. I'm pretty sure it's her debut novel If so it is remarkably well written. There are no supernatural elements in this novel.

This a tough one to review without giving away too much plot, but I'll try, and be as vague as possible.

This is a story told mainly from the perspective of two people. Rebecca and James.
Rebecca is a ambitious woman married with a little boy and a job that faces her worst nightmare, the disappearance of her husband and son. She goes through grief and anger in trying to find closure slowly loses her mind and worse. James is the person responsible for the disappearance of her husband and son (not a spoiler, it's revealed right on the first page).

This book was very well done. The characterization was realistic and scene transitions worked well.
