Like Mother, Like Daughter - Kimberly McCreight
Pub. Date: July 9, 2024
She read
Kat, a fixer for a law firm, is estranged from her daughter, Cleo and getting a divorce from husband Aidan. Trying to mend fences with her daughter, she coaxes her into coming for dinner. When Cleo arrives, she finds the dinner burning, a broken glass, Kat’s bloody shoes, and her mother missing. Oh, but there is so much more to this story…..
There is a lot going on in this book and sometimes it seemed all over the place. There are multiple characters and different POVs as well as transcripts of therapy sessions, journal entries, text messages, and legal filings. Various timelines move back and forth but are not difficult to follow. A couple of different storylines centering around Kat give the reader a number of possibilities as to who might want to harm her. There are almost as many red herrings here as pickled herrings found in a jar in a delicatessen!
The denouement went very quickly and at least one loose end was left hanging. Despite this, it was an engrossing, fast paced read.
Thanks to #netgalley and @aaknopf for the DRC.
