4 stars! This book humanized one of the most tragic events that can happen to a woman in her life. They didn‘t demonize her and they didn‘t bad mouth her. For that, I give this book so much credit to how real these people felt after awhile. They also gave the real monster in the book a justified end. Not my cup of tea still, but I would gladly read this over Haunting Adeline. I can actually see myself happily reading the second book. Recommend.
