It's December 27 and Jamie is on his way to work at a cafe when two police officers stop him. His friend Kit has been missing since the 23rd, and they suspect Jamie may have been involved. Told in alternating present day and "one year earlier" chapters, Jamie weaves a story of deception, drug addiction, infidelity, and anxiety that he swears proves his innocence...until it doesn't. There are so many twists and turns in this thriller that I'm still trying to process how Jamie got himself into this predicament, and how he ended up where he did. A propulsive story, perfect for fans of thrillers where all the characters are suspect.
