I received a gifted copy and am providing a review. (Not my picture.)
This story is told in the voices of Merritt and Lydia
(Merritt being Luca’s now wife, Lydia being his “missing” wife). This tale is
bound to keep the reader intrigued. It is such a different story line … one
that won’t disappoint. Lydia has been missing, presumed dead, for the past nine
years. Imagine Merritt’s surprise when she opens the door one evening and comes
face-to-face with her “late” husband’s first wife, Lydia. At first, she didn’t
believe it was Lydia. I mean, really, how could it be? Merritt closes the door
in Lydia’s face, thinking she was a random stranger and feeling the need to
protect her children, Luca being out of town. Lydia finds herself befriending
Delphine, the owner of one of Bent Creek’s shops. As the story progresses, some
deep-seated secrets come to light. But who really has the most to hide? Is it
Luca, or is it Lydia? There is much going on within the pages of this tale.
There are a couple of twists contained within the pages of this story that happen unexpectedly and are sure to keep the reader turning pages. I found Merritt, Lydia, and Luca to be very well-developed characters that played well off of each other, exposing the others for who they truly are. Delphine is also an important character and not one to be discounted. What a tangled web of truths and untruths that unravel by the end of this tale. Get ready for this one to hit the shelves February 2022!
