Summary: Sadie and Will Foust have only just moved their family from bustling Chicago to small-town Maine when their neighbor Morgan Baines is found dead in her home. The murder rocks their tiny coastal island, but no one is more shaken than Sadie. But it’s not just Morgan’s death that has Sadie on edge. And as the eyes of suspicion turn toward the new family in town, Sadie is drawn deeper into the mystery of what really happened that dark and deadly night. But Sadie must be careful, for the more she discovers about Mrs. Baines, the more she begins to realize just how much she has to lose if the truth ever comes to light. ~amazon.com

Review: Is a fresh start always the best thing? Or is it just running away from an accumulation of problems/issues? When Will's sister dies they inherit her house on an island in Maine along with being guardians of her daughter, Imogen. So Will thinks its a blessing and they pack up and move to a tiny island. Sadie isn't so sure that this is what they need even with their issues they've dealt with. She has to start her medical practice over and working at a private office is different than the fast paced hospital ER in Chicago.

Shortly after moving into their new house, a young step-mother is murdered in her home. For some reason Sadie becomes intrigued and curious about this woman who she didn't even know. She starts to become a bit obsessed wanting to know what happened to Morgan. It distracts her from other things that she should be paying attention to at home. She also is even more upset when it seems like the police think that she had something to do with it.

As you go on in the story you start to wonder if Sadie is going a little off her rocker. She doesn't seem to be remembering things that people are telling her and is completely distracted.

I found myself reading and wanting to know what to make of this story. In fact as soon as all the puzzle pieces came together, I was wondering why I didn't see it happening and figure it out. That is a sign of a good suspense author. I really enjoyed how all the pieces came together in the end to make sense of what was going on throughout the whole book.

This will go on top of my list for Mary Kubica books. She left me a bit stunned in the end.
