This is a heart-wrenching suspense novel. Anna Hart is a flawed missing persons detective from the village of Mendocino near San Francisco who is hiding away. Will, her childhood friend and sheriff, offers to help Anna solve some missing children cases. Can solving them help her heal? Anna has been a victim of sexual abuse so this is an emotional roller coaster ride for our main character. Paula McLain has written a few historical novels which I have read so this suspense thriller is a new genre for her. She brings the case of Polly Klass, a real-life missing child case, into the mix of the story which works to her favor. It gives the story an extra meaning as the Polly Klass case was extremely popular. The novel had a few slow parts but for the most, the story flowed well. I look forward to McLain's next book and recommend this book to those who love suspense thrillers. Thanks to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for a free copy for an honest review.
