The Iron-Jawed Boy and the Siege of Sol by Nikolas Lee

I kept thinking I knew exactly how things would end up fitting together but guess what?! I was dead ass wrong! Well played KBelle 👏 👏 👏 This one was so devilishly clever that I don’t even really want to say much about the plot but it’s told via multiple perspectives and reads super fast, one of those honestly unputdownable books. Her books are extremely clever and while I would put them in the same category as all of the Girl books, she breathes fresh life into the genre with her unique style and ability to do something original and wholly her own. I fell in love with Belle’s writing when I totally devoured The Marriage Lie and despite reading it a few years ago I still think about that ending to this day! If you haven’t read that one do yourself a favor and get on it and then when you get done grab this one because it does not disappoint either! In a market saturated with authors trying to be the next Gone Girl on a Train Who Bumped Her Head and Can’t Remember Who She Is, Belle is a standout. Where is Sabine? And who is Beth? The only thing that’s certain is that someone is lying and the truth won’t stay buried for long. The detective on the case will stop at nothing to find out what happened and bring this missing woman home. Sabine’s carefully laid plans for her future indicate trouble at home, and a husband who would be better off with her gone. Her abandoned car is the only evidence the police have, and all signs point to foul play.Īs the police search for leads, the case becomes more and more convoluted.

Wherever she is, she’s taken almost nothing with her. Beth has given her plan significant thought, because one small slip and her violent husband will find her.Ī couple hundred miles away, Jeffrey returns home from a work trip to find his wife, Sabine, is missing. A day some people might call any other Wednesday, but Beth prefers to see it as her new beginning–one with a new look, new name and new city.

For nearly a year, Beth has been planning for this day.
