Wow! Who knew sociopaths could be so
entertaining. A breathless read with
intertwining stories from the husband and the disappeared wife. Amy, of Amazing
Amy fame, a beloved children’s series written by her parents, and Nick
(that’s Lance Nicholas Dunne) are a
beautiful, wealthy and successful married couple living in a fabulous Brooklyn
brownstone. When both lose their jobs,
and Nick’s mother is dying in the small town near Hannibal MO where Nick and
his twin sister Margo grew up, it seems prudent to cut their East Coast losses
and move back to be near family during this crisis. But much is not what it seems, and when Amy
disappears on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, a couple of years
after they have relocated, suspicion fall on Nick – it’s always the husband, right?
What follows is a roller-coaster ride of a book with a succession of
surprises at the end. One wonders about
a sequel, 20 years or so later, that might rival Rosemary’s baby. 415 pp.
