I love Shari Lapena’s work, despite every book following the same plot line over and over.

I didn’t see Avery hiding out in Marian’s basement, so that was a fun twist.

Everything else was fairly predictable, though it was a fun read. What WASNT fun was the ending. I can’t remember if Lapena has ended a book so abruptly before with no resolution. I was flipping through the pages looking for the next chapter, or maybe a sneak peek at the next book. So frustrating! I literally closed the book with a “wtf!” All in all, I enjoyed reading this one, but I wouldn’t recommend it compared to her others. She always follows the same tropes, so you know what to expect.

   A young girl goes missing and the neighborhood's secrets all come out. But who can you trust to tell the truth? 
    The most of characters are unbearable! It was a hard book to finish. But by the time it's revealed what's going on and becomes completely terrible, I was at 72%. So I finished it. But if I'd known where it was going I would have DNF'd the book.
     The narration was pretty good though.
