Highly recommend for not just mystery fans but also for anyone who appreciates when an author takes the time and effort to create a well-crafted story with fully-developed characters. I enjoyed the different approach and style of this suspenseful psychological thriller.

The pace is good, gradually introducing the characters and revealing their relationships and then ramping up the tension once many of the secrets are revealed. Three years later, Cass returns, without her. Written from the alternating points of view of Abby and Cass, the past is gradually revealed as the FBI try to find Emma. One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. This is a story of obsession and jealousy, mental illness, not-so-blended families at war and ultimately revenge. 'Emma in the Night' is quite the Psychological Suspense novel. Winters uncovers much of Cass’s dysfunctional family history and also helps unravel many a mystery.

Her story is however, investigated by the FBI, including Forensic Psychiatrist and Agent, Abby Winters, who specializes in personality disorders and specifically, narcissism. Emma 3 of 745 Chapter I Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her. Though Cass's mother, Mrs Martin isn't exactly the most reliable of characters. Cass’s story is far-fetched and is one her mother is unwilling to believe. Three years later however, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. From that moment on, I couldn’t tear my eyes away.Įmma and Cass Tanner are sisters. EMMA IN THE NIGHT was an intriguing look at Narcissist Personality Disorder and how a family is ultimately affected by it.Įmma in the Night' captures your attention from the first sentence. While at times the book had me frustrated because it wasnt all making sense.

I also like to challenge myself to see if I can figure out the why and who. Emma in the Night is an intense story that had me interested the whole time. My absolute favourite genre or type of book to read is a psychological suspense/thriller novel as I am totally fascinated in the way that some people think, feel, or behave.
