In contrast to His & Hers, some may walk away from this one feeling more snookered than satisfied. Feeney’s signature misdirection sets up gasp-worthy twists down the stretch even if they, like the characters, come off as arbitrary and artificial. The plot takes some perilous turns in ways both predictable-a power outage, dangerously loose stones in the wall of the chapel’s belfry-and not, as alternating narrations from the trio open a Pandora’s box packed with secrets, lies, and betrayals. Alice was a BBC journalist for fifteen years, and now lives in. Including Rock Paper Scissors, which is being made into a TV series by the producer of The Crown. Her books have been translated into over twenty-five languages, and have been optioned for major screen adaptations. Each harbors darker agendas for the weekend, as does the mysterious, hermit-like neighbor, Robin, who frightens Amelia when Amelia catches the woman peering at her through a chapel window. Alice Feeney is a New York Times million-copy bestselling author. Londoners Amelia and Adam Wright, the couple at the center of this craftily plotted if flawed domestic thriller from bestseller Feeney ( His & Hers), are spending the weekend at spooky Blackwater Chapel in the Scottish Highlands on what is meant to be a last-ditch effort to save their 10-year marriage.
