Psychological thriller

BEFORE YOU START

The premise

Adam, a screenwriter with face blindness, and Amelia arrive in snowy Scotland. Yearly letters and the trip itself hint at secrets in the marriage.

Why the setup appeals

A marriage under strain
The tension sits between husband and wife rather than between a family and a newcomer.
Letters across the years
A letter written each year connects the weekend to a longer history.

IS IT YOUR NEXT READ?

A good match for your shelf?

Consider it if you want a strained marriage tested over a snowy weekend away.

Something to keep in mind

The premise centers on secrets within the marriage rather than on a household or a job.
