The Shadow Box

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

The Amazon Charts bestselling author of Last Day delivers a haunting thriller about how far one wife is willing to go to expose the truth--and the lengths someone will go to stop her.

After artist Claire Beaudry Chase is attacked and left for dead in her home on the Connecticut coast, she doesn't know who she can trust. But her well-connected husband, Griffin--who is running for governor--is her prime suspect.

Just before the attack, Claire was preparing for an exhibit of her shadow boxes, one of which clearly accuses Griffin of a violent crime committed twenty-five years ago. If the public were to find out who her husband is, his political career would be over. Claire's certain her husband and his powerful supporters would kill her to stop the truth from getting out.

When one of Claire's acquaintances is murdered, the authorities suspect the homicide is linked to the attack on Claire. As the dual investigations unfold, Claire must decide how much she's willing to lose to take down her husband and the corrupt group of elites who will do anything to protect Griffin's interests and their own.

I really enjoyed this book, once I got the characters and timelines straight. You get POVs from 6 people total, 3 of them are most of the book and the other three are extra sprinkled in. The timeline also jumps around and I almost needed a notebook to keep track. Once I figured I out, I was invested and wanted to find out what happened and whodunit…it’s as obvious as you think, but it’s pretty twisty. Book #83 in 2023

This book was okay. It was well written, and used audible for this title, and the narrators were both good.

I really dislike the mystery books being from multiple points of view. I wish authors would just write a mystery book that unfolds like you would if you were investigating. I don't like the structure of knowing all the answers and waiting for the characters to put it together. I read mysteries because I like to use my brain to try and figure out the mystery. When they're formatted like this it doesn't scratch the mystery solving itch, it's more like just reading a random novella.

Great book but one time during the book all I could think was let’s hide behind the chainsaws.
