The hype is real, y'all. A tense, multiple timeline thriller that had me suspecting every character who was not an inspector of being responsible for Bear's and Barbara's disappearances.

I understand why this book is so well received. It deserves all the hype. Well written and totally engaging.
My son picked this for our buddy read. I don't read many mysteries, but this looks good. A 13 year old child goes missing from a summer camp. 14 years prior, their sibling also went missing. (Though not from the camp.) So far I'm really enjoying this.
Me: I have to finish this by Tuesday because not only is it book club, but I picked the book. And I‘m enjoying it!
Also me: Ooh what‘s new on the internet?!?
I wish Amelia would confiscate my devices 😝
I really enjoyed this book. The mystery, the characters, the setting of the story all made this story engaging. There are a few characters to keep up with and a jumping timeline but I liked how all the little pieces of the story that were revealed all fit together in the end. It was kind of reminiscent of All the Colors of The Dark which I thought was great as well. Definitely recommend!

I really wanted to like this more than I did and this rating feels unfair. While reading, I really enjoyed the story. I was swept right into the mystery and intrigue and appreciated the non linear story telling with multiple POVs. However, I think because this isn‘t my usual genre, I didn‘t enjoy the ending and it left it more a middling book for me.
