Rosenfield provides plenty of twists and turns to keep readers guessing in this atmospheric mystery where all the characters had motive and means to commit murder, especially for the millions of dollars that Mimi's estate is worth. I really liked this book, as I did No One Will Miss Her. This is a vastly different book. It is more family saga than mystery. As far as 'who did it?', I sort of guessed who did it but did not know why. A totally enjoyable read from a really good author. (  ) EdGoldberg | Feb 1, 2023 | Grandmother (Mimi): dead, wandered off and froze under ice under mysterious circumstances. Mimi's caregiver Adam: hot. Family: obnoxious. It is Christmas, so naturally they are more obnoxious than usual. Mansion: creepy. Very. Its name is Whispers. Granddaughter: main character, named Delphine, the surprise heir, doesn't belong or fit in at all. Surprises, twists, turns, with the readers' assumptions upended nicely. All quite Gothic, and all quite satisfactory despite the cliches (family fights over a fortune, but then I adore that plot, so). The writing is fairly solid. I enjoyed myself, and recommend the novel for light reading any time you need a good diversion. Read it in front of a roaring fireplace if at all possible, a shivery novel in which an old lady also freezes to death requires some warmth.

HTML: A Knives Out-style whodunnit with a twist of Taylor Jenkins Reid, You Must Remember This is an immersive Gothic mystery, with a long-ago love affair, icy death, and a rich family gone bad, from Kat Rosenfield, the acclaimed author of No One Will Miss Her. On Christmas Eve, eighty-five-year-old Miriam Caravasios steps onto the ice that surrounds her seaside estate on Maine's Mount Desert Island. As a younger woman, she used to steal out on winter nights to meet her lover, walking across the frozen reach to their secret meeting place. She knows the wayâ??but not the year. Miriam, her mind clouded by dementia, doesn't hear the snap of thin ice until it's too late. Was it an accident? Suicide? Or worse: did someone lure the old woman onto the frozen reach, to her death? There are plenty of suspects; Miriam's fractured and complicated family has gathered in their Bar Harbor mansion to celebrate what everyone believed would likely be the matriarch's last Christmas. The guests include Delphine, Miriam's granddaughter, a frightened and insecure young woman who adored her grandmother, and Miriam's live-in aide, Adam, whom Delphine has been secretly dating. There is Miriam's former housekeeper, Shelly Dyer, who left the family's employment years ago under mysterious circumstances. There are Miriam's children: Theodora, who gave up everything to assume the role of caretaker; Diana, who seems just a little too eager to inherit her share of the estate; and Richard, whose longtime grudge against his mother has curdled into gleeful contempt at her deterioration. But it's Delphine who comes in for the greatest scrutiny when they learn the shocking news that Miriam's will cut off her children, leaving her granddaughter almost everything. As tensions rise, Delphine is emboldened to start asking questions: not just about her grandmother's death, but about her life, and the love story that defined it as the rest of her memories faded. The trail will take her into the past, into dark places â?? and eventually, onto thin ice Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Theodora, the youngest child, has put her life on hold to care for her mother in the old family home, The Whispers. Her adult daughter, Delphine, has been helping her, and visited her grandmother at the care facility. But now, they bring her home to The Whispers with Adam, a personal caregiver, who has been secretly together with Delphine. Richard, the eldest child, has come from CA, but doesn't want to be there, and Diana, the other sister is anxious for her inheritance.
So, did someone kill Miriam? If so, who?
I suspected the culprit from the beginning, but there were many red herrings thrown in to push you away from the suspect. (
