What's Become of Her: A Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
“Guilty people keep secrets.”
Isabelle Austen returns to her hometown on a small, isolated Pacific Northwest island to take over the family tourism business after the death of her mother, a disapproving parent and a hard woman to love. Feeling lost, Isabelle is also struggling with a recent divorce and wondering if she’ll ever come into her own. Then her life takes a surprising turn: The mysterious Henry North arrives on Parrish Island, steps off a seaplane, and changes Isabelle’s world forever. From the beginning, their relationship is heady and intense—then Isabelle learns of Henry’s disturbing past, involving the death of a fiancée and the disappearance of a wife. Suddenly Isabelle is caught between love and suspicion, paranoia and passion, as she searches for the truth she may not want to find—and is swept into a dangerous game she may not survive.
Praise for What’s Become of Her
“A darkly enchanting romance sinks into a thrilling cat-and-mouse game.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Caletti elevates reader discomfort to the maximum in this nuanced suspense novel. . . . The plot builds to a surprising and well-developed conclusion.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“As Caletti combines literary fiction with suspense, she keeps readers guessing until the last page.”—Booklist
“This is a lush, suspenseful read set in a sleepy seaside town, with both main characters using the locale (and each other) as a means to escape. Caletti’s strengths are all on display: the novel is carefully paced, the prose excellent, and the characters (and their ghosts and demons) are realistic and strikingly drawn. Each person’s motivations and reliability as a narrator are weighed and considered over the course of the novel, with expectations upended and reevaluated constantly. The build to the climax is relentless, tense and satisfying.”—RT Book Reviews
“This is a fast-paced read, with exceptional moments of suspense.”—The Book Review

Starred review from February 20, 2017
National Book Award finalist Caletti (He’s Gone) elevates reader discomfort to the maximum in this nuanced suspense novel. Compassionate, kindhearted Isabelle Austen is still processing several significant life changes—the death of her difficult mother; leaving her editorial job at a small press to assume ownership of her mother’s charter airline business on Parrish Island, Wash.; and the end of her marriage—when Henry North, a professor on sabbatical from Boston University, arrives on the island. Despite internal and external warning bells and potential omens of danger, Isabelle responds to the narcissistic Henry’s romantic overtures. Meanwhile, across the Pacific, the mysterious Professor M. Weary divides his time between studying the habits of New Caledonia crows and monitoring Henry. Warnings Isabelle receives from Dr. Weary cause her to wonder about Henry, whose first wife died in an accident and whose second wife has gone missing. The plot builds to a surprising and well-developed conclusion. Agent: Ben Camardi, Harold Matson Company.

February 15, 2017
When charismatic, brooding aspiring poet and Edgar Allan Poe aficionado Henry North arrives on Parrish Island, Isabelle Austen is smitten. But Henry comes bearing secrets that may spell Isabelle's death.Having left her job in publishing in Seattle following a divorce and her mother's death, Isabelle has returned to Parrish to sort through her late mother's effects and take over her small airline business. Once Henry arrives, though, she's swept up in a whirlwind romance. Much as she adores Henry, doubts begin to nibble, particularly after he convinces her to sell her mother's house and move in with him. Moving day brings Officer Ricky Beaker to their door. He's been tipped off that Henry's past includes two missing women: Virginia, his former fiancee, suspiciously fell to her death while hiking with Henry, and Sarah, his missing and presumed-dead wife, strangely disappeared on a boating trip after an argument. Although cleared in both cases, Henry has not escaped suspicion. Luckily, Isabelle learned from her abusive mother how to protect herself from predators, how to distract and placate them. Meanwhile, practically on the other side of the globe, a professor Weary runs the New Caledonia Corvus Research Facility and Sanctuary. But Weary isn't just studying the habits of crows. He's monitoring Henry's every move, studying Visa statements and photos posted online. Alarmed that Henry is seducing new prey, Weary makes contact, sending Isabelle incriminating evidence of Henry's crimes. Caletti (Essential Maps for the Lost, 2016, etc.) masterfully links Isabelle's and Weary's growing anxiety, ratcheting up tension through dark imagery and sentences that twine and twist as they explore Isabelle's psychological cage. In Caletti's capable hands, Poe's raven metamorphoses into murders of crows, foreshadowing not only the mayhem Henry brings to Parrish Island, but also the vengeance being wrought from New Caledonia. A darkly enchanting romance sinks into a thrilling cat-and-mouse game.COPYRIGHT(2017) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

After her mother's death, Isabelle Austen returns to her birthplace off the coast of Washington State to run the family's airline business. Recently divorced and ambivalent about a future on the island, she quickly enters into a relationship with Henry North, an outsider with a questionable past: both his former fiancee and his wife died under suspicious circumstances. Loyal at first, Isabelle becomes increasingly suspicious as packages begin arriving from around the globe, each containing items belonging to the dead women. Unbeknownst to her, Professor M. Weary is watching both Henry and Isabelle online in what he describes as a selfless attempt to prevent another woman's death. But who is Weary, and what is the source of his obsession with Henry's dead wife? In her latest, prolific National Book Award finalist Caletti (Secrets She Keeps, 2015) deftly builds tension through alternating chapters narrated by Isabelle and Weary in this well-told tale. Is Henry North a murderer? Does Weary have Isabelle's best interests at heart? As Caletti combines literary fiction with suspense, she keeps readers guessing until the last page.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
