I really liked this book and the mystery it held. It's very [b:We Were Liars|16143347|We Were Liars|E.

The mystery is in depth and there are many clues throughout, I guessed the killer mainly because I guessed everyone at one point or another.
It is a slow book and the book focuses mostly on a 12 year old girl so there's a lot of pettiness involved. Sometimes the mystery took a backseat but nothing else was developed in it's place. I actually didn't mind that - usually I can't stand child narrators.
As much as I liked it I felt a little disjointed from it and I can't pinpoint why. It was interesting but it just didn't draw me in how I had hoped it would. The mystery wasn't that in depth and nothing really startled me. He was just a shitty dude who hurt people.
Verdict - definitely not a Gone Girl but definitely a different book for me to pick up.
