Hood Canal and a sweet little 1920s cabin by the water -- an idyllic setting for a weekend getaway that ends in tragedy for a family in Washington State.
Adam and Sophie Warner and their 3-year-old daughter, Aubrey, book one of the 3 cabins near Lilliwaup. Each is named for a flower and they are staying in the "Wisteria." It's on the morning after they arrive that the incident takes place -- Adam and Aubrey are out in a rowboat on the water when he sees his wife Sophie being abducted. Witnesses saw a man in a red jacket grab Sophie and then she disappeared. Police detectives from local Mason County Sheriff's Office, Lee Husemann and Zach Montrose, arrive on the scene and the questions begin. And that's when this gets really interesting...NO SPOILERS
This was an incredible crime thriller populated by some of the most horrid personalities you can imagine! Unreliable narrators that offer lies, keep secrets, manipulate and scheme. The kind you love to hate and since you can't believe what they say, of course you're suspicious of everyone. The pace was fast and the revelations kept coming with twists and turns that are hard to anticipate. So many questions and the detectives have their hands full with the investigation that is complicated by the fact that Adam and Lee have history since both grew up locally and knew each other as children. It was hard to put this down! I really like this author's writing style and the story drew me in immediately and kept me guessing. I'm definitely looking forward to his next book.
