A great mystery with very believable characters. It would've been a five star for me if only there was some epilogue or just a couple more pages to really wrap up what happened.
Beginning was good (except for similar reading characters) but then it felt repetitive. The reveal was too early and very anticlimactic. I hated how Avery was written. She felt like an old woman, not a 9 year old girl. It almost felt like the setup of an Orphan-like twist. The kidnapper's motive was dumb and she was such a random character, so there was no payoff.
Shari Lapena is great at Psychological Thrillers and shady neighbourhoods. — An Unwanted Guest and The Couple Next Door are still better, but I enjoyed this nonetheless.
I will say that when you find out what happened, it sort of gets ridiculous, and slows down. But, that didn't take away from enjoying the book.
