The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. The two friends haven't spoken in over a year. But soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice - she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice's husband John goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind. This is a sharp debut, replete with exotic imagery and charm, and full of precise details and extraordinary craftsmanship.

A plodding, unexciting book, filled with clichéd tropes and two-dimensional characters. I kept waiting for the grand reveal where everything would fall into place, where the pages that had come before would finally come alive after an unexpected revelation... after reaching the end, checking the acknowledgements and thoroughly examining the back cover, it seems I was out of luck.
