This book had me asking so many questions. On the surface, it seems that he could truly be a doting father and attentive husband, or perhaps he’s trying to make amends for his infidelity… or maybe there’s something more sinister going on?
Similarly, Will seems intentionally almost too good to be true. I immediately and consistently felt sympathy for her while somehow simultaneously feeling so creeped out and nervous about her that I didn’t think I’d want to be alone with her. Kubica’s characterization of Imogene is extraordinarily well done. The house comes with an occupant, Will’s teenage niece Imogene, who is grieving her mother’s sudden death and seems equal parts traumatized and traumatizing for Will and his family. As events begin to unfold and new characters emerge, it becomes clear that neither a fresh start nor a clean slate will be in the family’s future. We quickly learn that the “fresh start” Will and Sadie were hoping to find in Maine wasn’t just an escape from the memories of an affair, but an opportunity for their teenage son Otto to take advantage of a clean slate as well. When Sadie and Will Faust move their sons Otto and Tate from the bustling city of Chicago into an old, dilapidated house inherited from Will’s recently deceased sister, things soon become… a bit less idyllic. is a psychological thriller set in a small, idyllic coastal town in Maine.
