In her fourth outing, Mary Kubica brings us a tale of a widow who questions her late husband’s death, which has been ruled an accident, while making wild assumptions about the unknown details she finds out about his life.  As she digs in to the mystery, her life starts to unravel as she believes the best, and the worst about her husband.

From my experiences to date, Kubica is like the anti-Star Trek, where the odd numbered efforts I enjoy while the even numbered ones leave me a little cold.  This one was no exception, as I enjoyed the mystery but had issues with the main character.  Specifically her insistence on hiding the death of her husband from their young daughter, for what seemed to be weeks.  Had I paid any attention to the title of the book, that might have made more sense, but, as I didn’t, it rang false.
