Title: Gone Tonight
Author: Sarah Pekkanen
Genre: Thriller
Thank you, NetGalley, for this book.
I’ve read An Anonymous Girl, which the author co-wrote, and I thought it was okay. But I’m always willing to read more from an author unless I just flat-out hated their other book. And this one started rough, but I’m glad I kept going because it ended up being better than it started out.
Ruth Sterling is showing early signs of dementia, and her daughter, Catherine, is about to leave home for the first time to take a new job. Ruth is really struggling with this fact for reasons she hasn’t been completely honest about. As Catherine starts to dig into her mother’s past, she begins to realize her mother has been keeping a lot of secrets about herself and Catherine’s history.
This book was good. I can’t say it’s one I’ll remember down the line because it’s like many other mystery books, but it kept me reading and I will recommend it to others who like the genre.
