4.0

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.
