Teton County Library Call No: M FLYNN G
Julia's Rating: 3 Stars

I read this book in one long binge. And, like most food binges, I felt kinda sick afterwards. This is one of the most unsettling tales I've read in some time. Not so much because it's gruesome or explicit. Rather it's a total psychological tease. With two narrators - husband Nick and wife Amy - telling their sides of the same course of events, the reader vacillates from believing her, then believing him, then her, then him ... back and forth until you can't be sure that anything is totally true. While some mysteries cause a reader to wonder that age-old question, "how well do you actually know those you think you know best?" This book makes you wonder if you can know a person *too* well, and if so, what good can come from it? For folks who love a good mystery with a can't-put-it-down pacing, this book is for you. For people, who like tidy endings that make you feel good about humanity, this book is *not* for you.
