"Edgar Award nominee (for 2018's The Liar's Girl) Catherine Ryan Howard strays into Memento and Pulp Fiction territory in her third novel, Rewind...Along the way, Howard seeds her compelling narrative with tantalizing bits of information that eventually accumulate and converge, leading to a surprising and satisfying dénouement. Rewind is an intricate, carefully crafted book with many moving parts, all of which Howard manages with enviable skill. Her characters all come to seem like people in real life, convincing in their actions and their motivations. The real power of the novel, however, lies in its underlying obsession with causation and destiny."
