Quite the psychological book here. It started out pretty straight forward but then turned into a ‘what in the world is going on here’ type of story.  I personally love an unreliable narrator and Bess fits the bill perfectly. She gets mixed up in trying to solve the case of a missing woman because she is murdered like several women before her. We are led down a spiral of conspiracy theories, religious tie-ins, possibly corrupt law enforcement, etc. This had some spooky scenes also! There were times I couldn’t understand why the main character would react a certain way which did take me out of the story a bit. But—overall, I enjoyed this and read it very quickly.
