This book wasn’t bad. But not particularly good either. There was a lot of potential but the MC was once again a neurotic female. Meant to be a detective but can’t keep quiet on the investigation to persons of interest especially.
This is two stories in one. An investigation into the missing to be sister in law, and the other missing persons that all seem connected. And an inner investigation into flashbacks Elin has surrounding the death of her young brother Sam. Something that had been ruled an accident but, her memories tell her a different story.
Now with all of that you have the makings of a great thriller but again the MC just succeeded in making me annoyed and took away from the story.
