How Quickly She Disappears by Raymond Fleishmann

A solid 3 1/2 stars. This was a slow burn that finished as a forest fire for me. 1941 in a remote part of Alaska is where we find Elizabeth with her young daughter and husband living a quiet existence until the day a stranger flies in and changes their lives forever. Elizabeth has almost given up discovering what really happened to her twin sister who went missing when they were in their teens. For everyone else, it is a closed case with no leads until the stranger comes to town and shakes up the quiet community in a brutal way. There is much danger and a huge risk but he may be the only one to provide Elizabeth with answers, so this is bait she can't resist. A superbly told dark, cat and mouse game that will keep you guessing to the very end.
