This thriller is a deeply disturbing turner that I couldn't and didn't want to put down. The pacing is fast, chapters that each reveal a piece of the or an insight into the characters. It is effortlessly between the past and present, and is full of shocks, twists, and great jumpres. The interesting characters and vivid storytelling make it an unforgettable read.
