While trust between individuals is what ultimately holds society together, the law is meant to uphold truth and justice. Dawn Hosmer deconstructs a mystery in “Somewhere in Between” by presenting a main character who bounces between the present and past to solve her own murder. As readers journey with Magnolia and Rom through their experiences in the alternate reality, they are forced to confront how their own escapes shake the foundations of their lives.

Hosmer juggles the story between past and present, each event drawing closer to Mackenzie’s untimely demise and the ultimate answer: What actually happened? Her dedication to her children is paramount, as is her estrangement from her husband, playing the bereaved spouse, though nothing about his crocodile tears sits well. You get a very realistic look at what it’s like being married to a narcissist while also battling depression and the isolation that usually goes along with that. She begins to doubt if she has the spiritual wherewithal to meet the standards of the devout dating pool of Blessed Sacrament Church.

Dawn does an amazing job at getting you to feel through this book… most of the feeling is loathing for some of the people in Mack’s life. I couldn’t put it down until I’d reached some kind of resolution—what in the world had happened to Mackenzie, and why? At first, I found the jumping back and forth structure a little jarring as a reader, but as the plot picked up steam and startling drama started to unfold at Mackenzie's funeral, I found myself eagerly turning the pages to get to the final twisty denouement.
