"Readers who enjoy books by Gillian Flynn and Ruth Ware, as well as the earlier thrillers by award-winning Irish author Howard (Distress Signals; The Liar's Girl) will find this a perfect vacation read; full of twists and turns and just the right touch of creepiness. A must for mystery and thriller collections." - Library Journal

"There's no hitting stop in this cleverly crafted thriller. With its claustrophobic, isolated setting and superb cast of characters, Rewind will keep you utterly absorbed until the last tense turn of the page. Compelling and brilliant.

Catherine Ryan Howard has a genius for creating memorable and convincing characters--some appealing, some horrifying--and the plot moves back and forth through their lives like a pendulum counting down to the explosive ending." - Jane Casey, author of Let the Dead Speak
