I went into this book completely blind. I'd seen tons of reviews, mostly high praise, and thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm actually super glad I did that because the synopsis is quite the red herring.

I really enjoyed how this novel unraveled. It started out with a man mourning his dead wife and how everyone around him acted, from his mother in law to the media to the fringe family and acquaintances. From there, the reader is treated to their story in kind of a backwards retelling up into the present. The entire time, there's just this weird, foreboding aura that one can't shake. This goes all the way up until the ending, and it still left me with an uneasy feeling. Highly recommended for fans of slow burn horror/creepiness.
