Dr. Maggie Kendall and her husband, Will have been married 24 years. They decided early on in their relationship not to have children. Now as she waves goodbye before heading to the hospital for work, Will and the stray cat, Luna, wave to her. The first patient is a fifteen-year-old stabbing victim. She performs an emergency procedure and stitches his heart before it begins beating again. She barely has time to rest before the next trauma patient is brought in. She recognizes the clothes and as the oxygen mask is temporarily removed, she knows it is Will. What happened in the short time she was gone? Now the police tell her he took his own life. She does not belief that at all. She heads to their vacation home in Croatia to gain perspective. The day she arrives and collects the mail, there is a letter written in Will’s handwriting. It makes her question everything.
The book has a fast pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the first-person point of view. There is a saying that three people can keep a secret if two of them are dead. How appropriate. There are so many secrets and twists. I had no idea where it was going. If you like international murder mysteries, you will enjoy reading this one.
