Mystery/Thriller -- 3 1/2 stars
Meredith Price is living in a big house in a resort mountain town with her older, wealthy husband, and she is bored. Her mother never was much into single-motherhood, so Meredith was raised by her older sister, Greer. Greer lives in New York where she and her ex-boyfriend own a string of coffee shops. Greer has never liked Meredith's husband and her ex-boyfriend has never like Meredith. Then Meredith disappears, and the finger-pointing begins. Strangely formulaic, until it's not. The characters are distinct and believable, if not terribly original. The way the conclusion is reached is a refreshing change from the bloody, high body count stories that seem to proliferate in this genre.
