The Child Finder by Rene Denfeld
4.0

Excellent on all fronts, if a bit long in the middle. Engaging prose, well crafted story that tackles difficult subject matter while not undermining survivors. Multiple POVs are used to render the situation and characters more vividly. I think this would have been a 5 star read for me, if it were not for the pacing and some stilted dialogue here and there that pushed me out of the fiction. Better than I expected though, hence the 4 stars.
