Peace of mind is all Greg Cole has wanted since the murder of his twin sister, Scarlett.In his new sun-soaked Florida life, he thought he had found it. But when Scarlett's killer is released early from prison with a cast-iron alibi, Greg realizes that his past is about to explode into his present, with terrifying consequences.To expose the truth he must open up old wounds. As a talk therapist, Greg knows all about dark secrets, but when a childhood friendship comes to the fore and the police turn their spotlight on him, the thought of analyzing his own psyche is a disturbing prospect. How far can he trust his own memories?With his life coming apart at the seams, and his grip on reality beginning to unravel, Greg must face the ghosts of his past if he hopes to prove his innocence and live to see another day.… (més)

I might have gone into this book predisposed to hate it, as the author wrote an introduction about his writing process, and how hard it is to write a novel. I usually find these kind of statements self-serving and of very little use to the reader. It also inserted the author into the book, and I couldn't help but see "the writer" throughout.

Phrases like "azure sky," "bouncing around in my head like popcorn in a microwavable bag," and "selling one-way tickets to dead-end trips," all seemed about the writer being very pleased with his imagery, and very little about telling a story to the reader.

And the story felt like just another trick the author was playing on the reader. When the first "twist" was revealed and then untwisted (perhaps because the author felt it was too obvious), a twist on the twist was revealed that just felt cheap and unearned. ( )

Based on the other member reviews, it must just be me, I couldn't get into the characters or the book. So, I decided to stop reading about 1/4 of the way through. Usually I just suffer through but, this time I couldn't. ( )

Greg is a therapist in Florida who has never really got over the disappearance of his twin sister ten years previously, presumed murdered near Lake Superior, when the past comes calling again. Despite advising others, Greg is ill-equipped to handle his own traumas and his struggles are well documented, often humorously as hecomes to terms with his past. Recommended. ( )
