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.

     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.

   • content: Lisa Flanagan is a talented narrator, and it shows in this complicated story of a college friendship that ends up having lifelong ramifications. She transitions smoothly between Luna and Owen, an unlikely pair who remain besties well into midlife. Flanagan shines as she capably portrays Owen's confidence and Luna's standoffishness, many times in the same sentence. Listeners who are looking for something new in the crime genre will lean into this title. Not completely classifiable--perhaps we could call it a cross between women's fiction and a thriller--this is a unique story told by a confident narrator who deftly guides us through the twists and turns of Luna and Owen's friendship--and the several murders that follow them.

     Starred review from April 1, 2022
     

     Lutz (The Spellman Files) reminds readers of how little any of us can truly know about the people we love. Luna and Owen, the two primary characters, have known one another since college (when they became inseparable because of an unexpected death) Only the two of them really understand their deep connection. Luna is quiet, wary, and practical while Owen, a son of privilege, always projects charm. Each has a secret life. Those secret lives start to unravel when the police investigate the brutal murder of Owen's wife. Lutz, who between 2007 and 2013 wrote six rollickingly funny mysteries featuring the Spellman family of detectives, has since expanded into darker mysteries. Her plots and characters are lively, intriguing, and full of surprises. Lisa Flanagan (who shared narration duties on the 2019 audiobook for Lutz's The Swallows) is pitch-perfect. VERDICT With Lutz's plot twists and turns and Flanagan's masterful reading, this audiobook puzzler is highly recommended for mystery fans.--Pam Kingsbury
