What Lies Between Us by John Marrs

This is not my usual kind of book. But I saw it somewhere listed as a great mystery, and that just sounded fun for a change. The story is well crafted, and there are numerous twists and turns, but by the end I was thinking, "Enough already! How does this end??"

Nina and her mother, Maggie, live in the same house they've lived in for many years. To say that they are both unstable is an understatement. People disappear. People die. And it takes most of the book to piece together this complex mother-daughter relationship. Definitely a page-turner, but I'm ready to move on.
