The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf

It was OK. Sort of a bummer when you can ignore the most obvious Red Herring ever and pick up on the multiple hints of who is responsible. That being said, I spent the last 100 pages of the story frustrated that the author was still trying to keep the obviously false lead going since by 50% of the book the actual person responsible had been brought up in memories at a minimum of 4 times doing some super creepy shit.
Also really didn't like many of the characters. As others have said, no one sits there recounting all their past life events of their love and mistakes when their kids go missing. Or, if they did, I'd have to say they are much more self-involved than interested in finding their missing child.
Then there is the whole "the author doesn't really understand what selective mutism is and thought it was be a handy plot device."
