In the small town of Havenkill, NY, aging rock star Aimee En pounds on the door of a police station, claiming that her car was stolen and a teenager who tried to stop the carjacking was run over by the thief. Meanwhile, divorced realtor Jackie Reed frets over the growing distance between her and sons Connor and Wade. As the tragedy consumes the small town, secrets compound, and Wade becomes the target of everyone's suspicions. Edgar Award nominee Gaylin (Hide Your Eyes; What Remains of Me) deftly pries into the challenges of parenthood, the hidden lives of teenagers, and the cruelties that hide behind the idyllic facade of small-town life while also maintaining unrelenting tension. The narrative is told from four perspectives, each with a distinct voice and emotional depth and all trying to understand what happened that fateful night. Though the plot and characters are skillfully managed, the story wraps up quickly after the big reveal and may be unsatisfying to readers who want all their loose threads to be fully fleshed out. Verdict Gaylin's skillful balance of tension and intimacy will appeal to fans of psychological and domestic suspense, and the questions she raises about parents, children, and bullying have rich potential for book clubs.
