WOW. The intricacies of this story and the various story lines wove together seamlessly. Everything I thought I knew was incorrect & I was surprised at almost every revelation in the mystery. This story is beautiful, terrible, emotional, and a wonderful depiction of how far we are willing to go for those we love. The super short chapters made it feel like I watching a movie and kept me engaged the entire time. Incredible read.

Great thriller, but to me it felt about 100 pages too long to reach the conclusion. Excellent character development and a tightly woven storyline kept me invested in this literary mystery.
