The Accomplice

fullDescription

Everyone has the same questions about best friends Owen and Luna: What binds them together so tightly? Why weren’t they ever a couple? And why do people around them keep turning up dead? In this riveting novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Passenger, every answer raises a new, more chilling question.
 
“Masterfully plotted, The Accomplice is both a keep-you-guessing mystery and a keenly and tenderly observed character study.”—Attica Locke, author of Bluebird, Bluebird and Heaven, My Home

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar
Owen Mann is charming, privileged, and chronically dissatisfied. Luna Grey is secretive, cautious, and pragmatic. Despite their differences, they form a bond the moment they meet in college. Their names soon become indivisible—Owen and Luna, Luna and Owen—and stay that way even after an unexplained death rocks their social circle.
They’re still best friends years later, when Luna finds Owen’s wife brutally murdered. The police investigation sheds light on some long-hidden secrets, but it can’t penetrate the wall of mystery that surrounds Owen. To get to the heart of what happened and why, Luna has to dig up the one secret she’s spent her whole life burying.
The Accomplice brilliantly examines the bonds of shared history, what it costs to break them, and what happens when you start wondering how well you know the one person who truly knows you.

     Rich, cranky Owen and straight-shooting Luna have been practically joined-at-the-hip buddies since college, their friendship hiding the usual secrets--and one that's truly dangerous. So when Luna, who's lately been doing a lot of secret drinking with Owen, finds Owen's wife brutally murdered, a lot of ugliness pours forth and spells ruin for their tight bond. A stand-alone from the author of the New York Times best-selling "Spellman File" series.

     October 11, 2021
     In 2002, gregarious Owen Mann and fiercely guarded (for good reason) Luna Grey, the protagonists of this darkly comic, fast-paced thriller from bestseller Lutz (The Swallows), immediately click as freshmen at Markham University, forming a profound, though strictly platonic bond. They also share a curious propensity for becoming persons of interest in homicide probes, as detectives in Deerkill, N.Y., the Hudson Valley town near where both are living with their spouses in 2019, discover when the police start to investigate the murder of Owen’s wife, whose body Luna reports finding while jogging through the local cemetery. The author employs this suspenseful whodunit as a springboard for graceful dives into the friends’ complicated shared history and secrets as well as a present—and a future—far murkier than readers expect. Quirky characters, humor in unexpected places, and a twisty but plausible plot keep the pages turning. Readers will be torn between eagerness to get to the bottom of the novel’s mysteries—and reluctance for the adventure to end. Agent: Stephanie Kip Rostan, Levine Greenberg Literary.

     Owen and Luna develop a strong bond at college. Not sexual, just intense. Some might say odd. When a cloud of doubt surrounds the death of another student, Owen is targeted, although Luna is the one carrying around a dreadful secret from her past. Luna appears to have no family but is immediately accepted by Owen's parents, who put themselves forward as warm and happy party people, although they have their own level of dysfunctionality. Luna and Owen drift apart after Owen takes off for London, but they are reunited years later, after Luna has had a relationship with Owen's brother that did not end well. They become neighbors in the Hudson River Valley, and both seem to be happily married. However, when Luna finds Owen's wife's brutally murdered body while on her morning run, he falls under suspicion once again, and she owns up to her past in order to save him. But along the way she somehow begins to wonder if she ever really knew him at all. Lutz is the author of the immensely popular Spellman Files series and follows her successful stand-alone The Swallows (2019) with this atmospheric, well-plotted, and brilliantly narrated story, which is at once mysterious, suspenseful, and witty. Hudson River Valley-loving fans of Alison Gaylin and Carol Goodman will particularly enjoy the book's setting.
