Rock Paper Scissors

Adam and Amelia Wright's marriage is quietly falling apart, so when they win a weekend away at a converted chapel in the remote Scottish Highlands, it feels like a last chance to fix things — or an ending in disguise. Adam has face blindness and cannot reliably recognize even his own wife, which makes the isolated, snowbound retreat more disorienting still.

As the couple mark their tenth anniversary, the trip reveals itself to be no accident. Chapters alternate with a series of anniversary letters that peel back a decade of a marriage neither partner has told the whole truth about, and it becomes clear that someone has engineered this weekend for reasons of their own.

Alice Feeney's twisty domestic thriller is a story about the lies inside a marriage and how little we can truly know the person we've promised our life to.
