Telling the story from the main character's point of view, but moving back and forth from her childhood to the present (2011), gives us insight into the reasons for Helen/Heloise's solutions to the challenges in her life and her motivations. However, other characters in the story are allowed to disagree with her, thereby, giving perspective. The skillfulness of the storytelling adds to the tension and terror as the threads of Helen/Heloise's life come together in a truly frightening climax. Another Laura Lippman page turner.
