Couldn't put this one down. Told in each character's own voice, this story of revolves around finding two little girls who disappear one night and the desperate search that ensues. The shared plight of the families is made even more intense due to the complex relationships within and between them. Ms. Gudenkauf never allows the plot to lose focus, though, and, while she weaves in and out of the fabric that has brought each person to this day, to this event, she carefully builds the tension until the reader is simply flying through the last few chapters for the answers to more than one mystery.

Highly recommended as a book club read and for anyone who doesn't care about getting to bed on time or completing any non-essential tasks for as long as it takes to read it. Enjoy!
