Parent’s Weekend is more of a police procedural than a thriller, though the ending is definitely very suspenseful. Five students go missing during parent’s weekend at a small private college on the CA coast. While we learn a little about the students the book is really more about their parents and how what they have done has affected not only their children but also others involved. I loved Sarah Keller’s role in the investigation, even though she was supposed to just be in a supporting role she soon showed that her instincts and ability to get people involved and talking were what was important.
