This thriller is a nail biting, suspenseful read, packed with plot twists. The small town lends a perfect eerie atmosphere adding to the overall mystique of the storyline. The multiple POV and dual timeline help in creating a sense of urgency to unravel the truth behind the disappearance of three young girls who had their whole lives ahead of them.
I normally tend to dislike plots led by main characters that are detectives or journalists looking to unveil a mystery. This is usually because they tend to be unlovable characters. However, Jenna was believable. Her personal situation seemed irrelevant to the story but added colour to her personality.

This started off great - a really intriguing mystery and a solid page turner of a thriller. But the actual resolution was disappointing - felt wildly far fetched but also not really explored in much depth after the entire book building up to it?
