This is a story of a small-town girl in Australia who goes missing after school, and all the twists and turns of small-town people during the investigation of what happened. This has a lot of character development in learning about all the people/players in the town, which I like. You really get a good feel for each person and their lives/motives/involvement. However, I did feel that this was a bit of a slow burn for me, and it took me a bit to get through it. While I loved all the build-up and development, I felt that the story took a bit too long to get to the crux. I would have liked it to be more suspenseful and a faster pace.

I won an advanced uncorrected proof copy via Dymocks. I couldn’t put this down. It was well written and very good for a debut novel.
