A tale as twisted as many of the people contained within it, this second in the Fati Rizvi series centers on a nineteen-year-old pair of twins, whose mysterious disappearance, following their lavish birthday celebration, marks the start of a complex and intricate story. As Fati works to solve the mystery, she must rummage within the darkest depths of the relationships, motivations and hidden agendas of their parents (an entrepreneurial powerhouse couple), their children, exes, partners and lovers, and the lives of all they intersect. It soon becomes clear that it’s not clear at all exactly who can be trusted and who must be reviled, or even feared, as Fati herself (who is undoubtedly one tough cookie) finds she cannot escape this one unscathed.
Without giving the plot away (no spoilers here), this story is set in the majestic and beautiful heights of West Vancouver, which provides a perfect backdrop for family dynamics ranging from the tender to the diabolical, as well as covering pretty much everything else in between.
As Fati worries she may finally have met her match, the twists and turns are relentless, leaving the reader scrambling to catch up, right up to final pages where all will be revealed.
A great big thank you to the author for an ARC of this book. All thoughts presented are my own.
