Adam and Amelia Wright have been having problems for a while. Adam is a busy screenwriter who has face-blindness. Amelia is lonely and misses the husband she married. When Amelia wins a free weekend getaway in Scotland, she thinks it could be a chance for them to reset their marriage. Adam is annoyed, as he needs to work, but he goes, knowing that their marriage may not survive this weekend. The converted chapel where they are staying is isolated and empty when they arrive. At first, it is a relief, but then weird things start to happen almost immediately. The Wrights think that they made a horrible mistake in traveling to such a desolate place. Will they be able to make it back to London? Will they or their marriage survive this weekend?
Alice Feeney - oh my goodness. Rock Paper Scissors is a fast-paced thriller with totally unreliable narrators. There is a bit of a jumpy timeline as Mrs. Wright tells us about each of their wedding anniversaries. It is easy to see where the cracks in their marriage were happening. Neither were perfect and communication did not seem to be their strong suit. In fact, with so many of these domestic thrillers, all would be better if they just talked to each other. When Robin was introduced, I couldn't put it together. I even thought she may be a ghost. I was wrong. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - It is clear to me that Alice Feeney is one of the best in the business. Rock Paper Scissors is so smartly written that it left me speechless.
