When I read the blurb of this book my mind immediately went to Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway so imagine my surprise when a quote from the book opened this story. (note to self: you is smart)
This was a unique mystery novel, we know right away that a murder has taken place and over the course of a single day we find out the who and the why and it was very surprising, to say the least. I loved that we have no idea who is dead until the very end. Throughout the book, there are many red herrings making the reader ask is it him? over and over again.
I liked the fact that there were flashback chapters, letting the reader know our main character, Nadine has a lot of secrets and many twists abound. There are multiple layers to this story, each being peeled away like an onion, revealing what is truly underneath. This was such an engrossing story that I managed to finish the book in a single sitting. Also, I loved reading books and supporting Canadian authors. Amy Stuart hails from Toronto, just like me and I highly recommend her works.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
