From People: "In affluent Fairview, Conn., a young girl who's been sexually assaulted is given a drug to help her forget–and the fallout isn't what anyone expected. Twisty and spellbinding." For what it's worth, Reese Witherspoon loved it, choosing it for her book club and snatching up the movie rights.

When Krysten Ritter picked this one for Book of the Month, she said: "I love an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that feels authentic, current, and keeps you up way too late at night. The story is told through the alternating perspectives of the recovered Cass Tanner and forensic psychologist Dr. Abby Winter. Cass's side of the story, a tale of captivity, a stolen baby, and an escape from a mysterious island, seems both more guarded and more calculated than a traumatized kidnapping victim's account should be. Dr. Abby Winter can't help but notice the major holes in Cass's story. As Abby becomes more and more skeptical, she also becomes more emotionally invested in finding the truth. Emma in the Night starts with many unanswered questions that slowly resolve, ramping up to the biggest and final mystery: What really happened to Emma? Once you think you have the story figured out from Cass's perspective, another idea or discovery from Winter changes your mind completely, keeping you reading and guessing until the final satisfying page."

I loved the premise of this psychological thriller: on a dark and stormy night, a guilt-ridden mother walks away from her life, five years to the day after her youngest child was killed in a tragic accident. Two days after she disappears, police find Molly's handwritten note in a local motel: it says the pain is too much to bear, her family will be better off without her, she's leaving. "Don't look for me," she writes. The police call it a walk-away, saying it happens all the time. But Molly's daughter is suspicious and begins her own investigation into her mother's disappearance.
