I enjoyed this thriller. It kept me guessing for a fair chunk of the book. The POV is mostly between Olivia, the girl left behind, and a journalist who's come to town twenty years after the disappearance to do a story on the mystery. I liked both of their characters, but particularly the journalist, Jenna, was compelling.
I think this could have been a 4 star book for me if some things hadn't gotten in the way. For one, we suddenly get some flashbacks to a different group of people in the middle of the book. This was distracting and also gave away a lot of the mystery. For another, some the answer to the mystery of where the girls were was underwhelming although the mystery of why it happened was more interesting.
