If you died -- would people notice? Can you imagine a scenario where your body would have lain in your apartment, undiscovered, for over 10 months? That's the situation that confronts estate agent Jennifer Arden when she's tasked with evicting the resident for nonpayment of rent. Sarah Jones is found on the couch, the radio playing, and the tiny table set for dinner. Jenn, who suffers from anxiety disorders, can't let this go. Who was Sarah and why didn't anyone realize she was dead?
I enjoyed this but it was not a suspense thriller nor was it full of tension, action, or twists. It was a slow burner, a psychological profile of Jenn and also tantalizing glimpses into a "before" narrative that gives some explanation for Sarah. I didn't expect to like Jenn, but I did, despite the fact that she's pretty messed up. The writing was good and the story was compelling enough to keep me reading the entire book in one sitting.
