3.5 stars  

A year after her mother and father have both committed suicide, first her father, then her mother, both jumping off the same spot into high tide, Anne is still reeling over how much she misses them and how her life has changed.  On the anniversary of her mother's death, she receives an anonymous note making her think perhaps her parents were murdered, and then mysterious warnings that maybe she herself is in danger.  She solicits help from the local police, a retiree who should just pass it off to a detective taking special interest in her case.

If ever a book was built on lies, and there are so many such books these days, this one has lies from beginning to end.  So many lies... and twists!  I do love twists.  Some I saw coming, others not at all.  Some were a bit out of left field.  And the rotating points of view make the suspense build to the point where it took everything I had to refrain from reading ahead.   Overall it's  a read you can immerse yourself in and forget your own troubles for a bit.  Believe me, Anne's are worse than yours.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy.
