Elizabeth Benedict

“Almost”
Stumbled on
this author
and I like
her a lot. 
Elizabeth Benedict's fourth novel, is "her most spirited to date" (New York Times Book Review). 

 Forty-something narrator Sophy Chase has just begun a lighthearted, romantically adventurous life in New York City when she learns that her almost ex-husband has been found dead on the New England resort island where she left him just months before.

 Lured back to the island by feelings she thought she had left behind, Sophy must navigate treacherous emotional terrain involving her grown stepdaughters, a former lover who is now a celebrity lawyer, the mystery of her husband's death -- and her own darkest impulses.
Benedict's  novels have established her reputation as a writer who “specializes in the subterranean currents of modern relationships, the secret motivations and betrayals that underlie everyday interactions.
