My first Laura Lippman experience, and not disappointed. After fleeing a car accident, a middle-aged woman with no ID is questioned by police and hints that she is the younger of two sisters, Heather and Sunny Bethany, who disappeared decades ago. She knows both too much and not enough about the case, leading Baltimore police on wild goose chases. The narrative tracks back & forth in time, with suspenseful little glimpses into the mystery of what really happened.

This was a good one, wasn't it. I thought the ending dragged out a bit and I figured out that it was the other sister before but there were a lot of things I didn't see coming.
