What a captivating thriller. It's quite different from what I'm used to because we know from the start that Ellie is gone and probably deceased. The story unfolds by switching between different characters' perspectives and alternating between past and present, which was truly engaging. I really enjoyed this book. The shifts in point of view were well done, making it easy to feel the change in perspective and believe we had transitioned from one character's viewpoint to another. However, there were a few things that didn't quite add up by the end of the book, particularly certain characters' choices that seemed inconsistent based on what we knew about them. For this reason, I wouldn't rate it 5 stars, but I'd still give it a 4.5 because it's so gripping that it pulled me out of a reading slump. I would definitely recommend it.

3.5 rounded up! While I figured out different parts of the mystery before it was told, I still found this to be an interesting novel.
