This story takes place over just 3 hours. A mother has her 4 year old at the zoo when she finds herself in an active shooter situation. She immediately finds what should be a secure hiding place but when the situation continues to drag on and on - she needs to somehow keep her 4 year old child quiet. Any parent knows that keeping an active 4 year old quiet at the best of times is nearly impossible but when that 4 year old is also scared, cold, tired, hungry, and thirsty... And also, why is this active shooter situation lasting so long when they heard the sirens a while ago.
This is an edge of your seat incredibly tense read from start to finish. The writing is emotive and truly creates a vivid picture of this mother's fear, desperation, and determination to keep her son safe. I will say that the last few chapters push past what I would consider plausible coincidence but I still thoroughly enjoyed this propulsive thriller.
