PLAY - Andrew is the manager of Shanamore Cottages. He's watching a guest via a hidden camera when someone kills her and destroys the camera.

PAUSE - Natalie's not sure coming to Shanamore was a great idea. It's isolated and the manager of Shanamore Cottages is creepy. But she can't leave until she gets some answers.

REWIND - We know what happens, but why did it happen? Who could have done it? You'll have to rewind and play it through to the end.

I liked the concept of play, pause, rewind, fast forward. But to me the whole story just seemed to jump around and with that I wasn't as invested as I had hoped, it was just confusing. It was slow going and large chunks of the book seemed to go absolutely nowhere for me. I was interested in the mystery enough to read this the whole way through, but the ending was nothing special. I did like the setting and I liked the fact that Natalie was a big star on Instagram.

Thanks to Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for an ARC. ( )

I’m going to say this book is ALMOST 3 stars. The premise is good. A woman is found dead in a holiday cottage. There is just so much fluff, get to the whodunit already. Pretty early on, in my opinion, it’s obvious who did it, but the author just keeps dragging things along. It’s not horrible, but if your reading time is limited, read something else ( )

This was well written, and the structure of different timelines narrated by different characters worked well and wasn't confusing, although it occasionally led to repetition. The story was so well-clued that the lengthy explanation at the end could have been a bit shorter - it was only confirming what the reader already knew.

Well worth the 99c it cost me on Kobo. ( )

Rewind is a book about obsession. It is written in a clever way, present, forward, pause, and rewind. It is a story of an Instagram star, Natalie, who believes her husband, Mike, is having an affair. She tries to find evidence of the affair to confront him, but in doing so, ends up in a tragic situation.
As people are engaged to find out what happened to Natalie, a down on her luck reporter, Audrey, takes an unusual interest in the mystery, deciding to follow it past her boss's recommendation and interest.
Audrey finds out some truths about Natalie's disappearance, while meeting some unsavory characters in the little town where Natalie disappeared. Andrew is the manager of the holiday cottages where Natalie was last seen, and Richard is an unkempt stranger in the town. Both of them are hiding secrets. Then, there is a woman that is unknown to many, but also manages a hotel - Jennifer. She has secrets she is hiding as well.
This is an eerie tale of what can happen when we put our private lives on display for others to witness. And, how others use our private lives to manipulate us. Privacy is more and more fleeting in our world of technology.

After reading the synopsis of this book I knew this is definitely one of those books that I won't be able to put down. The cover is bright and eye-catching and the title is short, simple and effective.
After reading the first look of this book I really wanted to read a whole lot more. The first paragraph immediately captures your attention, setting a dark scene...one murder caught on camera and to find out the killer all you have to do is Rewind. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, from what I have read so far anyway, even if some were a little more than creepy. I can't wait to buy Catherine Ryan Howard's novel. I have a feeling this is going to be an edge of your seat page turner. I mean who doesn't love a good Whodunnit?
