This was not really my cup of tea, although I am a huge fan of suspense/mystery book. thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I want to thank Netgalley and the author for gifting me the ebook. A great suspense/thriller Novel. Great weekend read.

Man, I really wanted to like this book but it’s just not for me. It was hard for me to follow and just didn’t draw me in.

I waiver between like and indifference on this book. I knew this was a darker read going in, and it didn’t disappoint in that respect, but that is not my issue with this book. Death, dying and getting older. As we get older, our thoughts definitely go more to our and our loved ones demise. Human nature, it seems.

Book centers on Conrad, his second wife Sarah, their friend group and family. The interacting between the friend group is realistic, but I find at times, quite disturbing. So much talk of being attracted to friends partners. Maybe I live in a bubble, but no one in my friend group talks like this...and yes, I’m in that age group. LONG sentences...I mean seriously long that it got to the point of annoying. I will say I thought it was well written, and held my interest, but found the author’s vocabulary a little too much for my liking. Not sure this author’s writing style is for me. At the beginning, it almost became a DNF, but I did find myself drawn in.

Thanks to Mr. McWalker, Spark Press and NetGalley for this ARC. Opinion is mine alone.

A story of grief, love, and starting over.
Compelling story. Sometimes people that have passed from our lives leave more than we realized.
I was given this book to read and review by the publisher through Netgalley.
Thought provoking. Great read.

This book is amazing. Steeped in sadness with deep moments throughout the story. It’s deep and moving. You just want to stay in the story and finish it all in one setting.

Conrad has lived a long life, out lived two wives and looks to the women in his past to see him through to the end of his life.
