It was to be
the perfect wedding—until the bride disappeared.
Annie Taft’s
wedding is four days away, and it will be one of the grandest anyone can
remember in her small South Carolina town. Preparations are in order. Friends
and family are gathering in anticipation. Everything is going according to
plan. Except that Annie herself has vanished. Did she have second thoughts?
Or has
something much worse happened to the bride-to-be?
As the days
pass, the list of suspects in her disappearance grows. Could it be the recently
released man a young Annie misidentified as her mother’s killer? Could it be
someone even closer to her?
While her loved
ones frantically try to track her down, they’re forced to grapple with their
own secrets—secrets with the power to reframe entire relationships, leaving
each to wonder how well they really knew Annie and how well they know
themselves.
My Thoughts…
The story is
one that’s been heard before. A bride
disappears before her wedding. The
difference is this bride has a history of disappearing for a few days at a time
and always reappearing like no time had passed. Everyone in this story is holding their
breath hoping that this is was the case this time too. As I kept reading I could tell that there
was going to be more to this story than a bride with cold feet.
I liked that
there were many characters telling the story.
I found it easy to tell who was telling their tale and to see how life
was affecting them. Their thoughts on
Annie’s disappearance, the way the police and the town was handling the
investigation, and what they thought of Annie was not always the same for each
person. It was interesting to see how
their points of view could be different for the same happenings.
I am a fan of
Marybeth Mayhew Whalen and was excited when I heard she had a new book coming
out. This isn’t my favorite but it is a
great addition to my collection of books by authors I look forward to.
