This is the first book I read by Alafair Burke and won't surely be the last as I found it gripping and highly entertaining.
I was fascinated by this story full of secrets and red herring: we don't know who was Hope and we don't know why she disappear.
Her friend Lindsay will do anything to bring her back and Ellie, the detective, is involved and will discover things from the past.
The plot is a bit slow paced at the beginning but the unexpected twists and red herring kept me reading.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
