A good pick for fans of Clarice Starling and Silence of the Lambs. Good, tense crime thriller with lots of twists. The bad? Too many POV for me. We had 3 POV, added a 4th, then added a 5th late in the game. Coupled with the 3 "XX Years Ago" flashbacks timelines, it was...a lot.
Graphic: Kidnapping and Murder
Moderate: Emotional abuse
