![]() ![]() The way she resolves the final conflict required future knowledge beyond her five year windows. Let’s take the most egregious example without spoiling anything. Her personality is outright charming, but the author plays loose with what she knows and doesn’t know depending on the plot. But let’s be honest, Rishe is as dumb as she is clever. She’s in top form in this volume, though her willful cluelessness and ability to pull solutions out of a hat do wear thin at times. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s handsome and charismatic, the kind of guy people are drawn to without really understanding why. ![]() Matthew is a teacher at a nearby prep school.

I’ve read and enjoyed two of Peter Swanson’s previous novels, so I was really excited to get my hands on a review copy of his latest novel. ![]() ![]() We recommend that you check with your local customs officials or post office for more information regarding importation taxes/duties that may be applicable to your online order as this changes country to country.

Despite the largely rave reviews that have been pouring in, and how much I admired it myself, I can see why this novel might not work for everyone. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here McKenzie manages to be sharp and intuitive all while coming across as extremely warm and personable.
