This is a fun mystery! A handful of characters and switches between different locations a bit, but still easy to follow. I felt it was a tiny bit slow at times. The ending, I absolutely loved! A couple of plot twists that I was not expecting. And I appreciate when plot twists make sense (and are not super outlandish to the rest of the story).

I thought this book would be more plot driven, but focused quite a bit on the characters, especially the main character Avery. I enjoyed the book but would've enjoyed the mysteries to have been built more. The ending was redeeming but almost felt like an afterthought.

Twenty Years Later is a fascinating read, starting from the opening pages with the June 2001 murder and going all the way through to the epilogue. There are two stories that don't quite mesh happening throughout the story (the Montgomery story and the Victoria Story) and either one would have been perfect for the story. Together, though, they take away from each other.   

While I saw some of the twists coming very early on, I was both surprised and not surprised at all with the whodunit revealed at the end. Page-turning and engrossing, it was a fun thriller. 

Several character were in the North Tower when it was struck, so that could be very triggering.
