Rear recounts the investigation of the abduction/murder of her stepsister, Stephanie Kupchynsky, a young violin teacher in Rochester, NY. While intriguing, the narrative shifted a bit too much for my tastes, going from stories about her life with Stephanie’s father (her mom married her stepfather after Stephanie went missing), corruption in the Greece police department, comparisons b/t herself & the victim, and the many people who were considered suspects. It made it feel like there really wasn't a strong thesis or a concluding idea from the story. While intriguing, I still felt like the book relied too much on Rear centering the story about her as opposed to drawing a clearer picture of Stephanie & her tragic fate.
