HBL Note: I maintain that the scariest plot lines are those when the main character’s mind or memories can’t be trusted. It is one thing not to be able to trust others, it is entirely another thing to not be able to trust yourself. The sense of disorientation that must cause. Because if you can’t trust yourself, who can you trust? In THE HAPPINESS THIEF by Nicole Bokat, Natalie believes she may have caused the car crash that killed her mother, but her memories of the situation are buried beneath trauma, so she isn’t sure what exactly happened.

From the publisher:
Forty-one-year-old Natalie Greene lost her mom and her childhood memories in a car crash two decades ago. What remains is a haunting feeling that she was responsible for her mother’s death. After her husband leaves for another woman, Natalie accompanies her famous stepsister, Isabel Walker (aka “The Happiness Guru”) on a retreat to the Cayman Islands. There, a late-night collision triggers Natalie’s long-buried trauma and a heightened sense of guilt.
Upon returning home to Boston, Natalie tries to settle back into her life as a food photographer and single mother to a teenage daughter—but then, one day, an anonymous email arrives about the Cayman accident that suggests foul play. In her search for the truth, Natalie must deal with a mix of fear, confusion, and suspects. With the help of Isabel and an attractive journalist, she uncovers a trail of deceit that begins on that deserted Caribbean road, circles back home, and ends in the most unexpected of places.
