A complex story about Kara and her family's massacre. Twenty years later she's still a basket case and it's getting worse because her brother Jonas is being released from prison for slaughtering their family.  Overwhelmed and starting to recover bits and pieces of her memory of that night along with mysterious anonymous text messages, she teams up with a reporter connected to the massacre.  It was an interesting story but there were too many characters and connections that was a little complicating and the twist and ending was a little underwhelming.  Still a decent read.
