Alright I am a sucker for thrillers, but this one just didn’t do it for me.  I did really like how it was written as a letter. It felt like something different. The main character did annoy me quite a bit and I wish there was more of a relationship between her and the children, but I also understand that that is a part of their story. It mentions in the very beginning about the death of a child and I guessed correctly immediately after meeting the children. Somewhat predictable with some inconsistencies. Overall it wasn’t my favorite but it also wasn’t my least favorite either.
