Description

It’s a story about the experience of moving through the world as a woman—and as a woman navigating guilt, grief, and the impossible-to-please opinions of others. And then, one fateful day, another convention attendee—a true crime podcaster with a burgeoning audience and a knack for solving real-world mysteries—catches wind of Isabelle’s story, and offers his help. Everything about reading is subjectiv …more It takes a lot of time to learn that rejection isn't personal, even though it feels like it is in the beginning. We meet Isabelle a year after her son Mason was taken from his bed in the middle of the night, and despite the efforts of the local police department together with a well meaning public, no clues have led to them discovering what happened to her little boy.

His incessant questioning paired with her severe insomnia has brought up uncomfortable memories from her own childhood, making Isabelle start to doubt her recollection of the night of Mason’s disappearance, as well as second-guess who she can trust. Stacy Willingham’s masterful use of dual timelines adds intrigue and atmosphere to this compelling mystery, while her immersive writing draws readers into our protagonist’s increasingly unstable state of mind. The wet noodles flop into a bowl, still molded together in an oblong tube, and I thrust it into the microwave, staring at the clock as my dinner spins.

Definitely some poetic justice, though Isabelle doesn’t seem as sure as Waylon that Ben actually did it. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Karissa Vacker, and I'm not the biggest fan of her narration (too much whispering) but I was kept interested and entertained regardless. She says that Isabelle needs professional help and that Ben warned Valerie that Isabelle was “unhinged. but emotions and feelings and all those other sticky subjects were simply buried beneath piles of money and presents until they disappeared altogether.

His questions of her childhood and background bring up memories of the trauma that she lived through when she was young. With no leads or momentum after a year of this missing person’s report, Isabelle becomes obsessed with finding answers.and the reason was because Isabelle wasn’t very likeable – nor were any of the other women for that matter. In her first book, there were several references to the 'Flicker' and in this one, several made towards the water, sort of as a running theme that helped drive this home (and don't get me started on the PERFECT cover! After some thought, Isabelle agrees and Waylon comes to stay in Savannah, to be near her and make the interview process easier on them both. I had so many jaw-dropping moments and times where I couldn't do anything but stare at the ceiling in disbelief after a big reveal. The novel is told exclusively through Isabella's POV and as she gets to know Waylon better, they begin to work as a team.

True crime's trending appeal and Willingham's mastery of the domestic mystery promise popularity for this one. We are nothing but what we choose to believe, but it’s all a mirage, bending and warping and shimmering in the distance, changing its form at any given second. Isabelle is an unreliable narrator, and since she doesn’t sleep, her memory is murky, and her obsession with finding Mason has her struggling to separate reality from fantasy.Ladies and gentlemen of TrueCrimeCon, it is my honor to present to you, our keynote speaker … Isabelle Drake! The two of us together were childhood trauma wrapped in a bow and placed delicately on the doorsteps of every doctor in Louisiana.
