From National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti comes an emotionally
riveting story of a woman falling for a man who may be hiding a
dangerous secret—perfect for readers of Jodi Picoult and Kristin
Hannah. “Guilty people keep secrets.” Isabelle Austen returns to
her hometown on a small, isolated Pacific Northwest island to take
over the family tourism business after the death of her mother, a
disapproving parent and a hard woman to love. Feeling lost, Isabelle
is also struggling with a recent divorce and wondering if she’ll
ever come into her own. Then her life takes a surprising turn: The
mysterious Henry North arrives on Parrish Island, steps off a
seaplane, and changes Isabelle’s world forever. From the beginning,
their relationship is heady and intense—then Isabelle learns of
Henry’s disturbing past, involving the death of a fiancée and the
disappearance of a wife. Suddenly Isabelle is caught between love and
suspicion, paranoia and passion, as she searches for the truth she may
not want to find—and is swept into a dangerous game she may not
survive. Praise for What’s Become of Her “A darkly enchanting
romance sinks into a thrilling cat-and-mouse game.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Caletti elevates reader discomfort to the maximum in this nuanced
suspense novel. . . . The plot builds to a surprising and
well-developed conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“As Caletti combines literary fiction with suspense, she keeps
readers guessing until the last page.”—Booklist “This is a lush,
suspenseful read set in a sleepy seaside town, with both main
characters using the locale (and each other) as a means to escape.
Caletti’s strengths are all on display: the novel is carefully
paced, the prose excellent, and the characters (and their ghosts and
demons) are realistic and strikingly drawn. Each person’s
motivations and reliability as a narrator are weighed and considered
over the course of the novel, with expectations upended and
reevaluated constantly. The build to the climax is relentless, tense
and satisfying.”—RT Book Reviews “This is a fast-paced read,
with exceptional moments of suspense.”—The Book Review
