Book Description:
In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide?
At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife’s death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought. But something, or someone, must have pushed Maya over the edge.
Thoughts:
I hate when you have high expectations for an author you love, and because of that level of expectation you’re let down… That’s what happened with this book.
I’m used to a level of suspense and twists and turns when I’m reading Lisa Jewell, and this one fell short for me. There wasn’t a lot of mystery, and the story itself was a bit hard to grasp as I didn’t find it very believable (two ex-wives and all of your children vacationing with your current wife was a stretch for me). That being said, I did like how all of the wives were able to co-exist for the sake of their children, but it just didn’t work for me. A solid 3 star for me.
