Author Grady Green is having the worst best day of his life.
Grady calls his wife to share some exciting news as she is driving home. He hears Abby slam on the brakes, get out of the car, then nothing. When he eventually finds her car by the cliff edge the headlights are on, the driver door is open, her phone is still there. . . but his wife has disappeared.
A year later, Grady is still overcome with grief and desperate to know what happened to Abby. He can’t sleep, and he can’t write, so he travels to a tiny Scottish island to try to get his life back on track. Then he sees the impossible – a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife.
Wives think their husbands will change but they don’t.
Husbands think their wives won’t change but they do.

Even though she is notorious for unreliable narrators, I love Alice Feeney. I noticed pretty early on that Amberley was an island of all women, but I wasn't sure what that meant for Grady since Kitty was the one who arranged for him to go. Sometimes, authors reveal bits along the way, but not Alice Feeney. So much information was revealed in the final minutes. By that, I listened to the audiobook, and the production was top-notch.
This book is for anybody who loves thrillers set on isolated islands, especially if you love books set in Scotland.
