Dahl's highly anticipated follow-up to her Edgar Award-nominated debut, Invisible Cities, continues the story of journalist Rebekah Roberts's complicated relationship with the mother who abandoned her as an infant to return to her ultraorthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn. Rebekah is brought in to help investigate the mysterious death of a young Hasidic mother in the same community her mother had left decades earlier. Pessie Goldin's body was found in a bathtub. Was it suicide or an accident, as her family and community believe? Pessie's husband thinks otherwise. As Rebekah probes the case and examines this cloistered, secretive world, she finds herself getting closer to meeting her mother, Aviva.
VERDICT No sophomore slump here. Dahl's smart, twisty plot and suspenseful tone will grip mystery and thriller lovers until the final page.
