From the author of Defending Jacob, William Landay’s latest novel is All That is Mine I Carry With Me, an admittedly awkwardly long title. As expected there is a mystery involved. Told from the perspective of several characters, including a writer, a woman, mother of three children, goes missing in 1975. Is her criminal defense attorney husband involved?
What I enjoyed most about this novel was how real and genuine Landay’s characters were, including the dialogue. It was also interesting to be inside the characters’ heads. The story is more of a slow burn but I enjoyed that. Landay is an excellent writer. I thought it was unusual to have the writer’s viewpoint, especially as the first voice in the story- breaking the fourth wall - but it works.
Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Bantam Books for the opportunity to read this book.
