Welcome to Litsy!

First, this is simply not a thriller. It‘s a family drama. Why go out of the way to write “a thriller” on the cover?

Super inconsistent with what is revealed. Chapters flashback in time but some dates only have years making you have to read in to who the character are to know if it is before or after the trip. & then there are random flashbacks in memories later in the timeline.

Honestly Matt sucked & I didn‘t care what really happened to him.

This novel is set in the Canadian woodland. A family of four goes to a backwater lake for one last camping trip before winter. When Sarah Anderson awakes the next morning she discovers her husband is missing. The weather is turning harsh. Sarah & her kids are full of panic and anxiety. The area is searched and Matt isn‘t found. The family goes back to home. The mystery remains. Matt has lots of secrets. Will he be found? 3.75/5

Sarah wakes during a camping trip to find her husband Matt and their canoe both gone, setting the stage for a missing person story and the exploration of a marriage. I have some quibbles with the book, but overall it‘s a good page-turning read with some interesting reveals.
