I read a lot of books, and I love a lot of books, but I know I’ve found something particularly special when I find a book I genuinely cannot put down. I’ve been eyeing Irish writer Catherine Ryan Howard’s latest suspense novel REWIND for quite a while now, but I finally took the plunge and dove into it this spring—and I’m so glad that I did. REWIND is pure “popcorn reading”—a lighter suspense story with a compulsive, just-one-more-page plot and major entertainment value. In REWIND, readers are drawn into a cleverly-crafted work of psychological suspense, one that utilizes unconventional plot structures and shifting perspectives to build an irresistible story of betrayal, secrets, and suspense. REWIND begins with a shocking crime: a woman is murdered while she sleeps in her hotel room, the only witness to the crime the hotel’s manager, a man who really shouldn’t be watching… but is, thanks to the hidden cameras he has installed around the hotel. Why was our victim in this hotel in the first place? Who killed her, and why? And what does the voyeuristic hotel manager have to do with any of it? From a relatively simple premise, Catherine Ryan Howard unravels a deliciously dramatic and sinister story of psychological suspense. While I did guess the story’s ultimate conclusion, my enjoyment of this engaging suspense book wasn’t diminished in this least; this is a story that’s more about the journey than the ultimate destination. When I started reading REWIND, I simply couldn’t stop. This book’s clever structure and engaging storytelling beg to be devoured whole.
