My work book club picked this one for the end of 2021 and I'm glad I picked up the audiobook! I absolutely loved the narrator's voice, so maybe that influenced my review in a positive direction. This was slower-paced than most thrillers and I would recommend it to mystery fans over thriller-devotees. I enjoyed the focus on Hannah and Bailey's relationship and the complicated dynamics of a step-family.
Like some other reviewers have mentioned, I think more description of Hannah and Owen's life before his disappearance would have increased my investment at the beginning of the story. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to read a thriller where the relationships and emotional tension were as important as the more superficial drama!

This book was good. It was definitely different than I was expecting and I liked the mysteriousness of it. I liked the ending quite a bit, even tho it was sad. Giving this one a 3.5!
