WOW! This story line is exceptional! It grabs you by throat and keeps you there for the duration.

Who know from the very first page who the antagonist is ... a girl named Poppy. The real question is WHO is Poppy and WHY is she doing what she's doing.

Will and Carla have been happily married for 19 years. They have a daughter, Libby, who is 18 and pregnant. Libby and her boyfriend are on a mini-vacation and Will and Carla will be celebrating their anniversary in just a few days.

When Will gets a phone call in the middle of the night, all their lives are forever changed. Someone has kidnapped their daughter and set up a kind of scavenger hunt that Will must follow in order to save his daughter. He is sent to different houses in Florida to find things that belong to his daughter...and he must get to those houses before the police do.

The first house holds four dead bodies ... and it just gets more bizarre from there.

I kept wanting to flip through the pages to see what was coming, but couldn't because I needed to see what was happening now! The author does a fine job in sustaining the suspense. The ending was quite unexpected.

5 Stars!

My thanks to the author / NetGalley / Angry Robot / Exhibit A who furnished a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
