What Never Happened is my second read by Rachel Howzell Hall and my favorite so far. I picked it up because of the author and the interesting premise that I’d not seen done before. The idea of someone sending you your own obituary sounded creepy and something that I needed to know more about. Overall, this one was a fun to read, unnerving domestic thriller which focused on some noteworthy and realistic characters. I liked the setting of Catalina Island which gave this a closed small town vibe where everyone could be a suspect. The past meets present crimes are attention-grabbing and draw you into the bigger story about what really happened to the main character’s family all those years prior. Rachel Howzell Hall is an excellent thriller author and this one is not to be missed.
