Human bones found in a museum piece of a dead artist Vanessa who's husband disappeared twenty year earlier. Becker goes to the island to find the truth. A very atmospheric and engaging and a slow burn of a novel told in different POV. Paula Hawkins delivers another hit. Thanks to Random House UK and Netgalley for this review ARC
