This was another find at the Cancer Center Lending bookcase at the hospital. I was looking for a good read for my trip to Rapid City. I love to read on airplanes, and I love to read at night after those exhausting, wonderful days with the kids!
This was an interesting romp into a very scary story; this woman's husband disappears and is accused of stealing from his company, and she is left to protect and raise her unlikeable teenage step-daughter. This story had a lot to say about trust in a relationship. There were lots of flashbacks to red flags that the main character had ignored when she was dating her husband. They weren't married for long when he disappeared. The twists and turns about who he was, his past, and his present were very interesting, and read like a mystery novel. I enjoyed the Sausalito and Austin, TX settings. I also enjoyed the way the main character struggled to build a relationship with her step-daughter. It isn't a great novel, but it held my interest and definitely got me to sleep all week in Rapid City. I looked forward to seeing the next twist in the story...well done, and with a very unexpected but satisfying ending.
