OrangeReviewStarEden Radley works at a New York publishing house. She is close to her father because her mother, Tara, abandoned them years ago to live with a younger man who was her "soul mate." When Eden learns that her mother committed suicide, after killing Eden's disabled half brother, she heads to Cleveland for the funeral. To make matters worse, her publisher asks Eden to edit the new novel penned by her mother's husband, the genius author Flynn Darby. As she works with Flynn, Eden soon learns how little she knew about Tara's life.
VERDICT MacDonald (I See You) has written another terrific novel of psychological suspense, marked by well-developed, sympathetic characters and excellent, tightly paced plotting. Tami Hoag and Francine Mathews fans will devour.
