Holy plot twist! This is a must read!
Holy plot twist! This book has been on my WTR for so long and I’m glad I finally got around to it. I did not see the ending coming at all! Synopsis: when a woman goes missing while out for a run everyone suspects the husband. It’s always the husband right? But when another local woman and her daughter go missing the town is on edge. Is this a coincidence or is there a killer/kidnapper on the loose? This book was written so well. I loved the authors use of different POVs and timelines. Every time the timeline would switch I was like “nooo go back!” But the timelines truly brought this story together. The characters were all done really well and each character and POV added so much to the story. Even when I don’t figure out the suspect they are/were somewhere on my radar but this plot twist came out of nowhere & I loved it! This is a must read! Don’t sleep on it like I did!! Thanks to my library for a loan on Libby

Good Plot but Slow
Very interesting book! I loved the twists and turns, however the writing feels like the story is slowly dragging on. Still enjoyed it but I had to force myself to continue it in the middle, where it definitely slowed.

Full of surprises
This one was full of surprises. With a dual timeline, multiple character perspectives and multiple missing people, this was a great mystery. Told from the perspective of Meredith (then, one of the missing women), Kate (then and now, a neighbor), and Leo (now, Meredith’s son), you really got to know the characters and the back and forth between them and now kept you intrigued with finding more info to solve the case. I would definitely recommend.

Absolute page turner
I love this book ! I couldn’t put it down the story pulled me in instantly I love a good mystery thriller who done it and this checks all those boxes. I loved how it tells the story from different characters perspectives then you have to weave them all together to get the finished storyline. My only critique was that I did feel like the ending was a little rushed, but I loved the ride this book took me on. Definitely made me curious about more books written by Mary Kubica because I love her writing.

Slow, with a fast ending
This book was entirely too slow for me. However the ending was super fast and felt very rushed. I thought I would enjoy this book after reading the first chapter but shortly after I got bored, was super repetitive.
