Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
“Grief leads to self-destructive behavior in this searing psychological thriller” from a New York Times–bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
What if the nightmares are actually memories?
It’s been a year since Poppy’s husband, Jack, was brutally murdered during his morning run through Manhattan’s Riverside Park. In the immediate aftermath, Poppy spiraled into an oblivion of grief, disappearing for several days only to turn up ragged and confused wearing a tight red dress she didn’t recognize. What happened to Poppy during those lost days? And more importantly, what happened to Jack?
The case was never solved, and Poppy has finally begun to move on. But those lost days have never stopped haunting her. Poppy starts having nightmares and blackouts—there are periods of time she can’t remember, and she’s unable to tell the difference between what is real and what she’s imagining. When she begins to sense that someone is following her, Poppy is plunged into a game of cat and mouse, determined to unravel the mystery around her husband’s death. But can she handle the truth about what really happened?
“[A] captivating thriller.” —The Washington Post
“Addictive. . . . Gripping suspense at its best.” —Karin Slaughter, #1 International and New York Times–bestselling author of The Good Daughter
“A twisting labyrinth of a book. . . . Lisa Unger is . . . at the top of her game.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Look For Me
“Unger . . . keeps the twists coming in this standout thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Another fine psychological thriller from a master of the genre.” —Booklist, starred review

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.25
I listened to the audio while following along in my physical book ...
I have to admit that this was a bit slow in the beginning ... and was looking forward to the action.
I am glad that I was able to understand Poppy's condition a bit more, and was sad to see the predicament she was in.
I am glad to see that in the end Poppy was able to take some kind of control back ... and was able to leave behind her challenges. [Even though it will always be a constant.]
I want to say some of this was left up for interpretation, and I am not sure I like that.
However, I did enjoy this story for what it was. I was glad to see that Poppy finally remembered the truths she uncovered before she forgot everything due to the trauma she experienced.”
