A deceased artist, her companion, and a curator are the characters in this thriller. Add a remote and isolated Scottish island , accessible only during low tide and you have additional intrigue. Soon after the death of a famous artist a curator comes to gather the remaining pieces of art and then the craziness ensues. I must admit it wasnt the usual Paula Hawkins that I am used to and it took me a while to get into it. But I am so glad that I did.

A gut-wrenching tour-de-force that made me wish, above anything else, I could read it for the first time again, and again...

I was so excited to receive this ARC from queen of suspense Paula Hawkins. I must confess that I had a little trouble getting into this at first because there seemed to be a lot of characters and a lot going on. Once I reread the beginning, it all made sense and I was hooked. I loved the remote Scottish island setting and the storms. Hawkins’s characters are raw and real and the plot and interactions are complex. A few nice twists pull off a stellar ending. Fans will not be disappointed.
