Shocking twist at the end. I didn't enjoy the constantly shifting narrator though; it got pretty confusing. As soon as I felt pulled to the current narrator or timeline, it would change and jar me out of the story.

In this new thrilled from Charlie Donlea, a dying ex-partner asks a former detective- now turned-ER doctor (Ethan) to solve the decade-old cold case of a missing teenage girl.
Ethan is drawn into a twisted psychological game with a sinister connection to his father- who was also a detective- who died on the job.
I enjoyed this novel. At first I felt like it was going to be predictable, with the good characters doing good things, and the bad characters doing bad things...but I was wrong! Terribly, horribly wrong! The twists and turns kept coming and coming at me. And we've been set up for a nice sequel here, too.
Thank you so much to NetGalley for this ARC!

This book was great! I was immediately hooked. The different POV’s and timeline jumps were interesting, definitely made the story more gripping. I loved all the twists and turns throughout the book, but towards the end I felt like I was getting whiplash with each chapter and was ultimately left in shock.
My biggest issue with the writing style was the author’s incessant need to be overly descriptive with model names of anything that had an engine. It felt very clunky and forced, and took me out of the story itself every single time. This is my 1st Charlie Donlea book so I’m not sure if this is a regular thing though.
