In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought.

Disappointing ending
Reviewed: 10-28-19
This book had an interesting plot and an amazing narrator. He changed inflections/vocal range with each character but not melodramatically so.
I was disappointed with the ending which always taints the whole experience for me. I thought it was a little pat and without giving anything away-thought there was some reckoning that should have happened that didn't.
I wouldn't call it a waste of time, still gave me some interesting plot lines to think about, I just felt the ending could have been stronger.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
