I was excited by the description when I first ordered the book. Then, when I opened the package, I read the tagline: He killed her, but who was she? I couldn't wait to dive in.
I loved the buildup of mystery. Laney Grey is a poet. She steps out in front of Rob's van. She's killed. It looks intentional and Rob is cleared. End of the story, right? A sad story, but the end of it.
Nope. The book quickly becomes a page turner as Rob looks into the truth behind Laney Grey. I loved watching her life unfold a little at a time. I loved getting inside Rob's head as he makes revelations about her. This is a short book, but there is so much packed into it. When I finished, I couldn't believe it was less than 200 pages.
What I loved best about this book is how true it feels. I used to be part of a local writers group before I had my baby and I am still in touch with many local authors. Laney Grey reminded me or bits and pieces of many of them. I've always wondered if they have dark pasts. This felt as if Laney Grey was just one of the club!
This is an enticing read you won't be able to put down. I highly recommend it to readers who are also authors (and/or poets) or who know someone who is an author (and/or poet).
