pickI‘ve read a lot of mixed reviews but I really, really liked it, from start to finish. It felt like more mystery than thriller. I think you really have to be patient and take the time to let the story set up. Complaints I‘ve seen mention too many POVs and timelines, and it‘s true that there are a lot of them. But I didn‘t find it cumbersome at all. It was compelling from start to finish, and I liked the end. So, a pick from me!
pickIf you fancy an intriguing, multi-layered thriller/mystery, this might be for you. As much about the unpleasantness of a wealthy upstate New York family as it is about their missing children, this kept me guessing. That said I did feel the author shied away from where I thought the mystery was heading, yet I didn‘t feel entirely cheated by the finale. Not perfect, but a solidly engaging read.
Working through my backlog of BOTM books before I pull out my Christmas reads next month. Enjoying this one so far, I'm about halfway through it.
so-soI was hoping to like this more but it was really hard to get into. I was interested to find out what happened to Barbara but I was not a big fan how the story jumped between time lines. It almost felt like it was trying to decide which storyline to focus on: Barbara's disappearance or Bear's. I felt that these two plots could have been broken into two different books.

pickI would not have picked it up if it weren‘t for my book club,but I loved it. I thought it was so well crafted! I mostly listened to the audiobook (excellently narrated by Saskia Maarleveld), & even though the story jumps narrators and timelines, I never had an issue keeping track of where we were. There were definitely some gut wrenching moments, so I don‘t think I would give this a blanket recommendation to everyone, but it was very, very good.
pickI can understand others' criticisms of especially the ending, but I loved it and couldn't put it down. The little boy made me think so much of my precious 9-year-old girl and what I would do if anything ever happened to her.
