This sounded like something that was right up my alley and I was very excited and anxious to begin reading it. The story of a young wife and mother, the victim of an ax murderer... the husband who found her and becomes the perfect and most logical suspect and his relentless search for the truth. Guess that was another book as it certainly wasn't this one. From the grand opening that held my interest straight off the bat we are suddenly taken back decades to the original owners and their history is told in page after page after page of details that went on forever it seemed. More than half the book is done before we ever see George and his dead wife again. I kept reading as we are occasionally offered the hope of getting on with the original story we were promised with a big, surprising reveal in the end...but the ending came and went with more questions raised than were answered. If a great psychological thriller that will keep you hooked for days is what you are hoping for you'll have to keep looking.
