In a well-told tale that is partly a murder mystery, veteran novelist Shreve (You Are the Love of My Life) knows how to build suspense. But mostly this is a family drama about long-hidden secrets and resilience in the face of one sorrow after another.
The characters are varied and three-dimensional. The preteen/adult conflict between Maggie and Lucy is spot on. This book will appeal to readers of fiction that describes the human condition. [See Prepub Alert, 1/30/12.]
