Synopsis: After years of
struggling to write following the deaths of his wife and son, English
professor Connor Nye publishes his first novel, a thriller about the
murder of a young woman.
There's just one problem: Connor didn't
write the book. His missing student did. And then she appears on his
doorstep, alive and well, threatening to expose him.
Connor's
problems escalate when the police insist details in the novel implicate
him in an unsolved murder from two years ago. Soon Connor discovers the
crime is part of a disturbing scandal on campus and faces an impossible
dilemma--admit he didn't write the book and lose his job or keep up the
lie and risk everything. When another murder occurs, Connor must clear
his name by unraveling the horrifying secrets buried in his student's
manuscript.
This is a suspenseful, provocative novel about the
sexual harassment that still runs rampant in academia--and the lengths
those in power will go to cover it up.
When a student
disappears and is presumed dead, her professor passes off her manuscript
as his own--only to find out it implicates him in an unsolved murder in
this new thriller from the USA Today bestselling author of The Request. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: As soon as I read the synopsis, I knew I wanted to read this book. I really enjoyed it. It had a lot of tension, messy situations, and twisty turns. It goes back and forth in the timeline, using past and present, which makes for reading that you can't look away.
I was just really drawn to the idea of this story. So many things start with just a bad decision, which is what Connor made when he decided to steal a missing student's manuscript. That leads him into many more problems when she shows up on his doorstep.
I really enjoyed this story. It kept my attention from start to finish. I really liked how it was written. I couldn't wait to get to the end to see how everything was going to play out. I'd definitely recommend this one.
