| My friend said this is the book Patricia Highsmith might have written if she was writing now. That's a perfect summary. Dark, noirish, with a discomforting, compelling grottiness. A delightfully subversive and illuminating novel. ...more | |

"Loved this writing-themed thriller! It felt so fresh and fun with lots of little nods to famous novels and fascinating insights about the writing life.

“In this garden, the air was sweet and clean, like the cool water running in the creek. Beyond the garden was the rainforest, a damp cathedral of fragrant myrtle and sassafras, sprawling mosses and ancient lichen... There was only one road into Vanishing Falls... the road meandered through hilly green pastures where black-and-white cows grazed, past pretty weatherboard farmhouses with splendid man ferns out front, thick hedges, and rose gardens.”

“There were two rabbits nibbling the green tufts growing around a fence post. She tried to creep up and pat them, but they scampered away before she could get close.”

“Jack had other friends, men with whom he played golf, went sailing, or had long business lunches. Some were farmers he had known since he was a boy, others were friends from boarding school or work connections. They were friends who required something of him, a level of either intellectual or professional engagement. With Cliff he could relax. It wasn't so much that he could be more himself. Rather, with Cliff, he could be nothing.”

“If you think about where murderers hide bodies, it's bound to be a place they know. You wouldn't drive to a new place. Too risky. It would make sense for the place where you dispose of a body to be close by. You would choose a place that you've been before, even if it was years ago.”

“The air was fragrant with the cinnamon-scented sassafras bark. A flock of birds, white on the blue sky, fell like they had lost their breath in unison.”
