Review

"There is plenty for the reader to ponder and savor in this accomplished inquiry into the ravages of love."

"[A] cryptic long-lost narrative inside an impending family tragedy wrapped in a true-crime murder mystery framed by the aftermath of all of the above. Deftly moving among almost as many plot lines as there are islands and employing at least two distinct voices, Ms. Shreve unravels themes of adultery, jealousy, crimes of passion, incest, negligence, loss and guilt, and then manages somehow to knit them all together into an engrossing tale--a fine seaborne story of the double."

"...Shreve deftly juxtaposes a strained modern marriage and a century-old double murder....[A] highly readable yarn and a complex, convincing exploration of the ramifications of jealousy."

Publisher's note

Enthusiastically embraced by critics, readers, and booksellers across the country, this powerful novel of obsession and betrayal is now available in paperback. When a photographer researches a legendary crime that took place a century earlier, she immerses herself in the details of the case--and finds herself caught in the grip of an uncontrollable emotion.

Annotation

A photographer travels to an island off the coast of New Hampshire where two women were murdered more than 100 years ago. As she becomes obsessed with these crimes, she also becomes convinced that her husband is having an affair with another woman. Unable to work, she is driven to an act of horror.
