4.5 stars Realistic Fiction
What was that?!? This story was crazy good! This novel had some weird twists to it that I wasn’t expecting. Although, I really didn’t get to know the main characters very well in this novel, I really enjoyed it. I liked that there weren’t a lot of characters in this novel. My initial thought was that Susannah was a person who liked to be taken care of and that her husband Max, preferred it that way. Susannah has a teenage son that she leans upon.
The family has just moved into their new home which came with Max’s new job. As Susannah returns home from a run, she finds a note on their door which alarms her and she phones Max who is traveling for work.
Flashing back, we get the story of Max, who took to the streets at age sixteen. Max’s story is quite interesting and we learn a lot about him.
As the stories converge, Max believes that he knows who left the note that Susannah found on the door. Max attitude of “taking care of it” seems to relax Susannah, who has been upset about the note. How he does that, is another issue. The story becomes intense at times, as events surrounding this couple, become puzzling and unexpected. The author does a fantastic job throwing in twists and turns and I was left wondering who was safe.
This was a great suspenseful novel with a lot of anticipation throughout it. It also was a quick read.
