2 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
Their son is gone. Deep down, they think they're to blame.Summertime in Bleak Harbor means tourists, overpriced restaurants, and the Dragonfly Festival. One day before the much-awaited and equally chaotic celebration, Danny Peters, the youngest member of the family that founded the town five generations ago, disappears. When Danny's mother, Carey, and stepfather, Pete, receive a photo of their brilliant, autistic, and socially withdrawn son tied to a chair, they fear the worst. But there's also more to the story. Someone is sending them ominous texts and emails filled with information no one else should have. Could the secrets they've kept hidden--even from one another--have led to Danny's abduction?As pressure from the kidnapper mounts, Carey and Pete must face their own ugly mistakes to find their son before he's taken from them forever.

“Their son is gone. Deep down, they think they're to blame...”

I may or may not have stayed up until 2:00 am to finish this bad boy right here.. Bryan Gruley‘s journalist background was SCREAMING through the pages. There is a sharpness to this story that is very refreshing! I adored the representation of the autistic character. Review continues in comments.

BookBumming Danny Peters, it wasn‘t what I was expecting based on other autistic representations I‘ve seen in literature.. but I actually mean that in a very positive way. “I am not autism.” — Danny Peters 6y

This one was good. I liked it, but didn't love it. Well written with and plotted, just too unbelievable and I didn't 'connect' with any of the characters, which meant I didn't care much about what happened to them so the stakes never seemed very high to me, but I did enjoy reading it.
