I liked this book a lot, and it's another book I would have liked better if I wasn't listening when i was busy getting ready or sleepy, but I started it when I was getting ready and driving to work and liked it enough I wanted to listen to it whenever I could. It says it's a thriller, but really it reminds me more of a mystery/crime who did it book. It is loosely based on crimes of seriel killers in 1977. The main character Heather has two friends disappear and she searches for the truth. I love that it showcases women's struggles with abusive men and law enforcement to keep us safe and get us justice when crimes happen against like. I think we have improved on that since the 70s, but we still have a ways to go. If you like true crime stories, thrillers, or mysteries, I recommend this book.
