Laurel I can’t stand her but I get what she is going through. She neglected everyone which was very sad and I guess she got her daughter back in the worst way possible.

I really enjoyed this mystery. My sister had read it and passed it over to me, so I was easily able to talk to her about the various characters and their intertwining stories. At times the storylines can be a lot to follow, but Lisa Jewell is very good at breaking down the important pieces and allowing the reader to do their own deductive reasoning.

The starting of the book was rather difficult to comprehend and follow but as the book went on it becomes extremely captivating, addicting and pulls you into the story like a finely woven web.
