I love a good, layered mystery, and i could not put this book down for 3 days straight. This one was a double mystery with underlying themes of haves vs. have-nots and men vs. women.
I don't typically read trigger warnings before picking up a book, because they've got broad spoilers in them, but this one was a mystery about missing children and I should've foreseen some of the obvious events that I was opening myself up to. Parts of this story were quite piercing, which I'll attribute to the author's writing skill.
