Despite my disappointment I did still enjoy the read, otherwise this would have promptly been DNFd but I just wasn't fully satisfied.
Maybe I will like past books by this author more because I did like the flow of the writing.

Still, it was a fast paced thriller. I loved the writing style and would be willing to read more of the author’s work in the future.

I wanted to like this book... and I did finish it, but maaan I hated the ending. This book was essentially one big trauma dump after the next in attempt to distract readers from figuring out the mystery. Like the almost rape scene for Jack's brother Jacob?! Like why?! And Jack actually being Merry, one of the original missing girls? Hated that because she seemed so out of touch with the town... that she grew up in??? And no one recognized her or Flo?! And Wrigley was a killer..... for fun.... and enjoyed torture with Rosie? Like okay? What were the odds? And let's just throw in the religious trauma with Jack being part of the church.
I felt like this book were three major traumas loosely tied together in a haphazard ending. Tudor really paints a picture, but it was so far fetched in tying everything together that I was severely disappointed. Also, who killed the mom?! Wtf is this town.

Only negative is that some may find the book writing style and layout confusing as it shifts from present to past as well as characters point of views.
