4.0

The novel is told through three first person main characters, each with some interest in recent events in a small town, which includes the disappearances of the daughter of one orator, and the father of another, as well as the previous kidnapping and abuse of the final orator.
 The story unfolds through multiple perspectives, leading to a chilling central mystery  where the individual narratives interact.  A really well written whodunnit, with one of the best Red Herrings I've come across in years.
