The Reappearance of Rachel Price

4 1/2 stars

Holly Jackson has a way of writing mysteries that I love. Her books don't feel too long or short and once you realize what happened, you'll be shocked but also excited to see where it goes.

Bel was an enjoyable character. She wasn't perfect and she didn't hesitate to get to the bottom of things which allowed the story to run smoothly and fast. Her way of thinking allowed the reader (or at least me) to reach conclusions fast and right when she did.

I was expecting the story to go on way and utilize the documentary crew to find out why her mother disappeared but I was pleasantly shocked when the story took a different route.

My only problem is the ending. It felt clumpy and like things were being over explained. It felt just a bit longer than necessary. But other than that, the ending was satisfying and the happy ending well deserved for the characters.
