3 * * *. Thriller. Without giving too much away, the book involves the disappearance of a teenage girl and how this news item affects two different women miles apart.
This book could have been 30% shorter. As the wheels spun faster and the stakes got higher, the book suddenly stopped midway. The entire second half is all spent mostly pondering regrets, plotting courses of action, ruminating on possible outcomes and obligatory threats of violence.
I could hear myself saying, "Ok, I get it! Can we move on to something new?"
Granted, the finale is a page turner, but you have to work your way through 200+ pages.
Also the conclusion felt like a rush job, like the written text at the last seconds of a movie summarizing "Where are they now."
Lastly, as an avid fan of horror movies and books, the bloody scenes did not disturb me, but be warned, they are descriptive and visceral.
