Leave the Lights On by Liv Andersson
4.0
Leave the Lights On is a captivating mystery that had a very unexpected plot. The story is narrated by a 40-something Beatrice Wicker, a wife with a secret. She is married to a successful, wealthy architect living in a small seaside town in Maine.
Early on, a young child is kidnapped, and the clues lead us to believe it's somehow related to Beatrice. The story has dual timelines, which teased out and connected what was going on then and now.
Beatrice isn't the most compelling character with her questionable behavior, but the action was fast-paced and intriguing. The ending had me scratching my head. It seemed a little abrupt and odd. I listened to the audiobook, which was well-narrated by Mia Barron.
Thank you, NetGalley, and the publishers for providing this ebook and audiobook ARC. All thoughts are my own.
