In this solid psychological thriller from bestseller White (The Wrong Man), Bryn Harper, a successful New York City–based self-help author, has barely been able to function since a fiery car accident killed a colleague and left her badly injured. Haunted by nightmares filled with fire, Bryn struggles to remember what caused the accident. Bryn and her husband, Guy Carrington, the head of development for the Saratoga, N.Y., opera, had a commuter marriage before the accident. Now they’re together in Saratoga, where Bryn hopes a dinner party that Guy has arranged will help her snap out of her lethargy. But Bryn soon runs into trouble with Eve Blazer, a flirtatious caterer, over missing money and a box of burnt matches—a nasty reminder of the car crash. When Eve is murdered, Bryn becomes a suspect. As Bryn struggles to clear her name, she realizes that Guy is not the man she thought he was. White keeps the suspense high to the end, though some readers may find the murder motive a stretch.
