  "Not a Thriller" by ebach (see profile) 03/03/16

This book is not nearly as thrilling as reviews by others would have you believe. In fact, the suspense they all mention is pretty ho-hum.

Hannah and Lovell have a fight. The next morning all seems normal, but Hannah disappears after that. So the rest of the book, told alternately from Lovell’s and Hannah’s points of view, consists mostly of their memories. Sometimes they remember different occasions during their marriage, sometimes they remember when their kids were younger, sometimes they even think about their own childhoods. You can safely skim the latter; they don’t seem to contribute to the story.

Reviewers’ mentions of suspense probably refers to Hannah’s chapters during the final third of the book. I won’t tell you Hannah’s error, but I will say that I caught it long before she did.

I won this book through Thoughts in Progress blog (http://www.masoncanyon.blogspot.com/).
