It's supposed to be a thriller maybe? A who done it read. But I lacked the intensity of suspense. It was more a slow roll of, oh no, moments.

thanks, Aidan, for this recommendation.  I love reading a book where the cover and title appear to make no sense at the start, but their relevance is gradually revealed.  This was one of those.  Interesting comparisons of various types of dysfunctional families.  Kept me guessing the whole time and the ending was very satisfying.

I found this book well written and compelling to read. Unfortunately, it suffers from the idea that a mystery/thriller can be built solely on misdirection. This book would have benefited from some consolidation, but the author felt like she couldn’t show her hand until the very end and had to spin out every possible motive and culprit. By that point, the reader is exhausted and the closing revelations don’t feel earned.

I thought it was a great mystery thriller! It took me a while to get into it and figure out all the characters. A few less characters would have made this book a higher score for me and the pacing was slow. But overall when it all came together it was satisfying to figure out both mysteries of these 2 missing siblings.
