This is Swanson’s latest thriller, and it brings something fresh in telling the story of Thom and Wendy’s flawed relationship backwards. We meet them after Wendy has already decided to murder her husband, and the story moves backward in time to let us in on all the many secrets and terrible choices in their past.
Clever and engaging, this novel will reel you in and make you think. I noticed that I am in the minority on this one; on Goodreads a lot of people gave it middling reviews, but I would say it is 4.5 stars for sure. I loved the way he wove the POVs, the choice to work backwards and reveal in reverse was interesting and made me pay attention to all the little details as a reader.
Let all the little details of your work get close attention in one of these ways!
