I was captivated by this story from the beginning. This is a mystery with elements of a crime drama, but at the heart, it is a story of a family in the middle of a traumatic event learning the capabilities of their fourteen year old disabled child. 

A slow-burn mystery with theory sprinkled throughout. It touches on elements of ableism, racism, immigration, and mental health.
