Days of Feasting and Rejoicing
About this ebook
When her friend Christine drowns under suspicious circumstances, Esther Maile—who has always longed to be someone else—slips almost effortlessly into Christine’s life. With a new name, easy access to money, and the attention of Christine’s former lover, the transformation feels natural.
Until it isn’t.
When it becomes unclear whether Christine’s death was truly an accident, Captain Net Wantok, a weary Thai police officer, begins to investigate. A trail of accidents and missing people all lead back to Esther. Drawn in by her beauty and uncanny resemblance to his own missing daughter, Captain Wantok finds his judgment clouded as his pursuit of the truth grows increasingly personal.
In Days of Feasting and Rejoicing, innocence and guilt blur together, and the question of who Esther Maile truly is—and what she is capable of—is the most chilling mystery.
