Skizzer. It's a funny word, and the title of a compelling debut novel.
“Something both terrible and wonderful has happened. I can’t explain now…”
With those lines from a letter placed in an old haunt of Claire and her sister Becca, Claire is launched into a search to find Becca. Becca disappeared without a trace, and Claire is determined to find her. But how many long-buried family secrets will she have to wade through in her hunt to find Becca?
This book is a mix between contemporary fiction and mystery…it doesn’t quite reach the level of suspense. Even with that blend, I was pulled through the story in quick fashion. I read this in the days after my daughter was born, and kept returning to the story at every moment I could spare.
The hunt for truth propels the story forward. Claire and her brother-in-law Rainey will cross states and the ocean in their efforts to locate Becca. In the process Claire will have the opportunity to reignite a relationship from her childhood. Both women’s lives are changed and enriched by the search to bring past secrets to life.
I enjoyed this debut novel and look forward to reading more by this author.
