Emma in the Night: A Novel Review: Good… - This was a very interesting book and it keep me reading. Review: Highly recommend - 4.5 stars I never quite know what I'm going to get with a Wendy Walker book, and I'm saying that as a compliment. The three books I have read by her have this unique feel to them although I can't put into words what makes them feel so special and different. She's just a good storyteller and this book is a wonderful example of that fact. Fifteen-year-old Emma Tanner and her older sister, Cass, disappeared three years ago. Emma has now found her way back home and says she was held captive on an island with her sister. She was able to escape, but without her sister. As law enforcement grills Emma with the hope she will be able to provide enough answers so they can successfully locate and rescue Cass, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter can't help but question some of Emma's claims. Abby thinks by learning more about Emma and her family, she might be able to uncover the truth. I thought the mystery was complex enough that I would be rather surprised if any reader was able to figure out every single piece of the puzzle before everything is revealed. It's one of those in which the theory you have floating around in your head will probably change throughout the story and by the end at most you were only partially correct. I liked how the story alternated between Emma and Abby's perspectives and as the story progressed, it was interesting learning some of the things they shared in common but also how they were different. Highly recommend for not just mystery fans but also for anyone who appreciates when an author takes the time and effort to create a well-crafted story with fully developed characters. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #963,139 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,224 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) #4,200 in Suspense Thrillers #68,555 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (4,481) | | Dimensions | 5.47 x 0.79 x 8.17 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 1250141427 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250141422 | | Item Weight | 9.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | August 7, 2018 | | Publisher | St. Martin's Griffin | ## Images ![Emma in the Night: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Z0RFiCGIL.jpg) ![Emma in the Night: A Novel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VJ94xzdpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good… *by H***1 on February 27, 2026* This was a very interesting book and it keep me reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend *by K***. on August 4, 2019* 4.5 stars I never quite know what I'm going to get with a Wendy Walker book, and I'm saying that as a compliment.

The problem, for me, is that she does a lot of telling and virtually no showing, making a lot of the narrative seem more like info-dumps than the gradual revealing of character and events that a good thriller with an unreliable narrator really requires. Additionally, the character of Abby Winters never really came Alice for me - she seemed to exist primarily as a way to relay Cass's narrative of events and to fill the reader in on everything you could ever want to know about narcissistic personality disorder, much of which was, frankly, repetitive and/or irrelevant to the story. And can I just ask, why give her a dog who is mentioned maybe twice and never named? That said, parts of the story were intriguing enough to keep me reading, and a few plot twists were a little surprising. No major thrills or shocking reveals (too heavy a hand with the foreshadowing), but a pleasant enough summer vacation read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/130349867-emma-in-the-night-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/130349867-emma-in-the-night-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
