I picked up this book as part of my Book of the Month subscription for the month of January. Most of the books that I have been reading recently have been from the Mystery/Thriller category and after reading the description of this book, that a returned missing girl was basically refusing to cooperate and keep details of her disappearance a secret, I knew I had to pick this as part of my monthly selection.

The short chapters in this novel kept the pace moving perfectly for this kind of thriller. The author does move between the character of Ellie and detective Chelsey in rotating chapters which also helped me stay engaged in the book. To me, it keeps the story moving while giving each character time to develop. There was one moment in the last quarter of the book that made me audibly say to myself Ohhhhh, that I did not see coming!

For me I would say that any fan of Mystery/Thriller content would find this book extremely satisfying. The author keeps you engaged, but also allows you to get a better understanding of the motive behind the majority of the characters actions.

Format: Physical Book

My reviews reflect my experience as a newer reader focused on enjoyment, not literary analysis.
