I have been really thoroughly enjoying this thriller from the author of Bad Things Happen. It begins:

There’s a necklace in my office, a string of glass beads. It hangs over the arm of my desk lamp, and any little movement can set it swaying. The beads are a middle shade of blue, the color of an evening sky, and when the light plays over them they look cool and bright and alive.

So far I have nothing but good things to say about this book; but I can’t say too many of them until my review comes out over at Shelf Awareness, so stay tuned.

This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.
