This book was brilliant. It hooked me in very early on and I found myself really starting to understand the characters. In the middle of the story I began to question different characters actions and wondered if the Christian White had gone a bit rogue... however, I should have trusted him more. As the twists and turns of the book really began to make sense and towards the end I could not put the book down. It was a brilliant "rearview mirror" mystery book.
Definitely recommend!

Another fast read by this author with enough twists to hold the attention. In the summer of 1989, a local teen goes missing from a usually idyllic Melbourne suburb. Police carry out a very superficial investigation drawing the conclusion she is simply another young runaway. Her mother tries to convince them otherwise as she is sure her daughter has been taken. Her former school teacher, Tom Witter, a prominent member of the neighbourhood crime watch group learns that the evil forces of Satanic rituals may be involved. Tom finds himself becoming deeper and deeper drawn into the events of that night. Suspicion inevitably falls on a reclusive local Goth so Tom and the girl’s father make it their business to take matters into their own hands. Events soon escalate and secrets quickly unravel leading to a twisty, unexpected ending.

Meh. The first 3/4 dragged and was filled with generic cliches and anecdotes. Character development felt forced and tinny. No nuance to the storyline of Tracie - her body was just used for the plot line.

Highly recommend Christian White books! The setting being a few suburbs away, the music mention sending me back to my teen years and the issues of teen life made it a very relatable read!
