In Rosenfield’s (cowriter, with Stan Lee, of
A Trick of Light) solo adult debut, Lizzie Oullette recounts, from beyond the grave, the events that led up to her death and the disappearance of her husband. Born and raised in her father’s junkyard in Maine, Lizzie has long wanted something better for herself but been thwarted at every turn. So when rich, glamorous Adrienne Richards wants to rent Lizzie’s lake cottage on a regular basis, despite its obscure location and lack of amenities, Lizzie sees an opportunity to change her life. She and Adrienne develop an uneasy friendship that eventually sours, leading to betrayal and death. Cassandra Campbell, Sophie Amoss, and Chris Andrew Ciulla narrate, bringing to life the two women and a detective investigating Lizzie’s death.
VERDICT Even infrequent suspense readers will see the big twist coming a mile down the road, but fans of the underdog will still enjoy the ride.
