Andrew Mason and his wife, Brie, live in a house they're going to renovate and flip for a profit. She wants this to be the last house they live in after renovating it. Andrew and his business partner operate a construction business and have been friends for many years. They take a week off and the partners go to a lake where they each own a cabin. While they're there, Brie disappears and suspicion falls on her husband, Andrew.
Six years later, Brie is still missing and Andrew has changed his last name and lives in the next town. A woman shows up at the house Andrew and Brie used to live in and the house is gone and a new house is in its place. She starts screaming "Where's my house" and causing a scene. The next door neighbor called Andrew and said there was a woman who looked like Brie. That's not the only sighting of Brie. Brie's sister, brother, and brother-in-law are visiting Brie's mother in the hospital when they looked out the hospital's window at the parking lot and see a woman who looks like Brie and she waves at them.
Is Brie alive or dead? If she's alive, where has she been these past six years. If she's dead, who is this woman?
This is the third book by Linwood Barclay I've read in the past two months. I like his style of writing and he tells an interesting story. He kind of reminds me of James Patterson style but Barclay's stories and characters are better developed. I'm usually good at figuring out whodunit but this book took me to the end of the story to find out.
