Emma in the Night
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."
About the Book
Publisher’s description:
One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn’t add up. Looking deep within this dysfunctional family Dr. Winter uncovers a life where boundaries were violated and a narcissistic parent held sway. And where one sister’s return might just be the beginning of the crime.
