Wow, this one had me hooked & rapidly turning the pages! There was A LOT going on in this seemingly quiet, small town. Women are going missing and no one knows how or why. First, it's new mom, Shelby Tebow, who disappears when she goes out for a late night run. Then, it's Meredith Dickey and her six year old daughter, Delilah. Years later, Delilah has returns, after finally escaping her sadistic captors. Her father is thrilled to have her home but her younger brother, Leo, is skeptical of her story.

There are multiple narrators and timelines at play here and Kubica expertly weaves in red herrings while dropping bread crumb clues. There are some excellent twists that I never saw coming. However, some of them were highly unbelievable and required quite a suspension of disbelief, especially the end. Overall, this one really worked for me with its keep you on the edge of your seat suspense! If the end had been just a bit more believable this would have been a 5 star read for me!
