Anna Cicconi takes a summer job as a nanny in the Hamptons. When she arrives there, everyone gives her weird looks.. The town is still reeling from the disappearance of Zoe Spanos at New Year’s. Anna looks just like Zoe and her arrival in town stirs up a lot of feelings about the unsolved case. Anna delves deeper into the mystery and she’s convinced that she and Zoe are connected somehow.
Two months later, Zoe’s body is found in a nearby lake and Anna is arrested for manslaughter. Anna becomes more and more convinced she came to the Hamptons at New Year’s and she was involved in Zoe’s death. She doesn’t remember much from her New Year’s celebration in New York as she’d been drunk and coked up. When she asked her best friend about it, she was evasive but denied they came to the Hamptons.
This was a good read. The build up is good. I was convinced throughout most of the book that Anna wasn’t guilty. Yet Kit Frick managed to make me doubt my conviction.
