All Things Cease to Appear (Thorndike Press Large Print Thriller) - Tapa dura

Brundage s brilliant new novel is as terrifyingly unsettling and as beautiful as cracking ice over a raging river. Part murder mystery, part ghost story, it s also a profound look at how past guilt informs the present, how what we yearn for is not always what we get, and how it s not only houses that can be haunted, but people, as well. One of the most ambitious, original and gorgeously written novels that I ve ever read and been unable to forget. Caroline Leavitt, author of "Is This Tomorrow "and "Pictures of You ""

It s a powerful and beautiful novel. Kate Christensen
At once high art and a spellbinding thriller, this is a book of many wonders, including a character as creepily sinister as any created by Patricia Highsmith. Beverly Lowry

A classic murder mystery [combined] with a gripping psychological thriller, exploring the complexities of grief, relationships romantic, familial and friendly and small-town life. Haley Herfurth, "BookPage"
I bloody loved this. I could have taken weeks over it, lingering on the harmony and beauty of her language and the creeping delicacy of what was going on - but the plot and the people pull you in. It s an iceberg in disguise. Beneath the daisies and farmhouses, the drinks parties and local dramas something grand, tense and terrifying is shifting, between men and women, between townies and newcomers, between adults and children. And then a crack shoots through - unexpected light, the clarity of hatred, inevitability... Louisa Young"
