The Mystery of Hollow Places is a gorgeously written, stunningly original novel of love, loss, and identity, from debut author Rebecca Podos.All Imogene Scott knows of her mother is the bedtime story her father told her as a child. It s the story of how her parents met: he, a forensic pathologist; she, a mysterious woman who came to identify a body. A woman who left Imogene and her father when she was a baby, a woman who was always possessed of a powerful loneliness, a woman who many referred to as troubled waters. Now Imogene is seventeen, and her father, a famous author of medical mysteries, has struck out in the middle of the night and hasn t come back. Neither Imogene s stepmother nor the police know where he could ve gone, but Imogene is convinced he s looking for her mother. And she decides it s up to her to put to use the skills she s gleaned from a lifetime of reading her father s books to track down a woman she s only known in stories in order to find him and, perhaps, the answer to the question she s carried with her for her entire life."
