Plot: involves the family of a missing young woman and a theme of ‘is it better to know what happened or remain ignorant?’.
I was fairly meh for around the first 25% of this book. Then there was an ‘oh shit’ moment. Followed by several more ‘oh shit!‘ moments at increasing volume. Then the last 75% was ridiculously gripping.
Amazingly tense, very fast to read writing style (might’ve helped with not inspecting potential plot holes too closely though – I suspect that on a reread some plot stuff wouldn't hold up as well), great character development, and it makes you fear for the characters and feel for them.
