Alison has been living with secrets for 15 years. She tries to lead a normal life teaching art at the local community college but still goes home each day and cuts herself and remembers. Most of the time she recalls her sister Kitty, who hasn't been able to speak since the tragic accident. One day at the college, Alison learns of an opportunity at the local prison for an art teacher to work with the inmates. Although hesitant, she goes ahead and takes the position, hoping to pay off debts and begin anew. But all is not as it seems, and someone who was also affected by the accident is waiting for Alison.
VERDICT Cory's second thriller is a solid follow-up to My Husband's Wife. Readers will think they know how the story will end, but they will be surprised by the final twist. For fans of Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, and Ruth Ware. [See Prepub Alert, 7/24/17.]
