In Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker, one night Cass and Emma disappear. Three years pass and Cass shows up at home, but Emma does not. Cass tells her story about the three years she has been gone, but to psychologist Dr. Abby Winter, it does not seem to add up.
I thought this book was really good! It is told by Abby and Cass. The pacing of the story is so well done that I did not know how it would turn out until the very end. LOVED IT! Add this to your TBR list. You will be glad you did.
(Gerard's review 5++ stars)
Karen read it too, 8-29-17:
Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker is about a dysfunctional family and lots of despicable behavior! It is full of creepy sick characters, fantastic storytelling manipulation and injustice. When Cass returns home without her sister after both being missing for three months, everyone is all ears about what happened to her, where she was, where and what happened to her sister, Emma. The FBI reopens the case in their search for Emma and the reader gets the back story in bits and pieces as told by Cass and the forensic psychologist, Dr. Winter, who is an expert on narcissistic personality disorder based on her own experience.
This is one crazy mystery that moved a bit slow for my taste, but has an interesting ending. This book centers around the mother who has narcissistic personality disorder and whether the cycle can be broken. As mysteries go, I have to give it 4 stars because I really could not figure out where Emma was; however, I cannot say I liked this one. This left a bad taste in my mouth due to the injustice and all the wickedness and evil in this book. It’s definitely written in a unique manner which is really what makes it a good read!
