A strange but compelling story of an an investigation into the disappearence of a local woman in a rural BC town, which is written less as a whodunnit and more as an exploration of the character, motivations and limitation of two of the RCMP officers investigating the case and to display the lives of a small group of friends in their local habitat.

An intriguing start to a series I want to read more of.

I love the writing. It brings me right inside the main characters' heads without dropping into the first person. After a couple of paragraphs of sharing the characters' thoughts, I had a clear view of who they are and some empathy for their situation.

I also like the sense of place. I can feel the cold and sense the woods prressing in in the dark.
