From the synopsis, I was excited to read this one. The drama of an accused school teacher, a student that disappears and a small town - sign me up. This one didn't quite live up to the synopsis.
There just seemed to be a lot in this book and maybe a little too much. I felt like the author was trying to tackle too much in one book. There were a few bits and pieces that I would have omitted, so the central drama could have taken a bigger role.
I did like that the chapters were narrated by various characters. I always love when a book gives more than one character the opportunity to move the story along and tell their side of it.
