Harriet Kealty, an out-of-work cop, discovers a used book with the phrase \u201cHelp me, he\u2019s trying to kill me\u201d inscribed inside. Most of us would ignore it, but Harriet, with time on her hands, decides to investigate. At first, we\u2019re in a classic police procedural, with Harriet sorting out possible leads. Eventually, she\u2019s drawn to a family that\u2019s rife with death, grief, and mystery, a family that she\u2019s surprised to find includes Ben Elmys, whom she has dated and who broke off their extremely intense relationship. Here the novel shifts, shedding realism for a narrative that is more speculative fiction as time becomes paramount while love\u2014lost only to be found again\u2014remains central to the story. Where we end up is as beautiful as it is unpredictable, and Hamby provides the reader with plenty to dwell on. <strong>Recommend this book to readers who love a good tale and aren\u2019t afraid of fiction that can\u2019t be easily categorized.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A novel that, in a good way, defies description.
