That\u2019s the crux of Kat Rosenfield\u2019s new mystery thriller, \u201cYou Must Remember This,\u201d The dangers of living in this area where the past and the present intersect are revealed.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Christmas Eve 2014, but elderly Miriam Caravasio has only an intermittent sense of where she is in time. Stirred awake, sensing her husband\u2019s presence in the dark, Miriam walks out of the Whispers, her seaside estate in Maine, and onto the ice with her husband Theo, crossing the frozen reach to their romantic island hideaway. It\u2019s their tradition, their secret.

Mimi talks in unsettling terms about her late husband, as if he\u2019d just stepped out of the room. Del thinks that she sees an old-fashioned man at the end of a dark hallway. And if it is all in Mimi\u2019s imagination, what to make of the tell-tale bruise on her neck?<\/p>\n<p>The Whispers, so named because of their fractured family, has been able to celebrate Christmas with the members of the broken family. \u201cwhen the wind hits the gables just right, it sounds like someone muttering.\u201d Miriam (\u201cMimi\u201d) is 85, suffering memory loss, and lives in a facility on the mainland, where she\u2019s faithfully visited by Del and cared for by Adam, who is escorting Miriam to the Whispers for what may be her last Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Del is an unhappy, indecisive woman.
