A teenage girl dies during her family's resort vacation. Two men are arrested but later released. The family must go home with no answers. This novel is less of a mystery/thriller and more of a work of literary fiction set around a mystery. There is a very deep dive into each of the characters who were permanently affected by this young girl's death. The main protagonist is her sister who was 6 at the time of the death. She grows to adulthood and moves to New York where a chance meeting with one of the men originally arrested in connection with her sister's death sets off a slow unraveling, layer by layer of who her sister really was. I found the story compelling and the writing excellent. I would read more by this author.
