One of my favorite mystery yet true crime books (not based on real story as far as I know).

Below is my rant/review over the book via YouTube

I read this book for book club--it's actually the community reads pick for Lexington for June. A gripping account of one family's nightmare when the father and youngest son leave for their daily walk and only the son, a non-speaking 14-year-old diagnosed with autism and Angelman's syndrome, returns home, clearly in distress. Narrated by his older sister Mia, this book explores family, happiness, disability and the mystery of the minds of others.

I really liked this one! It wasn't a straight-up mystery. It had so many other elements. About how nonverbal people are treated not only by society but by their own family. Racism against Asians. What happiness means, and if we could change that, should we? And also a mystery woven into all of that. I liked how deep this book went into different subjects but not enough to lose me. I thought it was all beautifully woven in and written. 5/5

A great piece of writing bringing the trilogy about black Texas Ranger Darren Matthews to a close. The author nails the politics of America today as a politician who has his eyes on greater rewards finds the indictment of a black law officer a personal crusade. Attica Locke is brilliant on race and politics as the story centres on the disappearance of a black student in a very white Uni house, as well as a creepy village created by a big company.

This was excellent! It‘s not really about the central mystery as much as it‘s an examination of the relationship between the “haves” and “have-nots” of small communities.

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'm a fan of Mary Kubica's writing style—she dives deep into each character‘s psyche and weaves their stories with precision. Her plots twist unexpectedly, always keeping you on edge. In this one, two close couples quietly envy each other‘s marriages. But when one husband vanishes, secrets begin to unravel, and the illusion of perfection shatters in a chilling game of truth ,deception, and unwanted revelation. 😱😱

A father‘s gone missing and the only witness is the nonverbal son. I appreciated the exploration of how happiness works, and how we align verbal skills with IQ, often incorrectly.
