“The name Rachel Price is almost synonymous with mystery. Because her disappearance was like a puzzle, and it’s human nature to want to solve a puzzle, don’t you think?”

A bit of a let-down after AGGGTM, but still entertaining.

It was a struggle to get into, due to the slowness of the plot and the unkindness of the main character (I understand why she was the way she was, I don't even blame her, but it was still annoying to read her bullying people who had done nothing wrong even if I completely understood her motive/trauma.)

Eventually, though, it picked up and while I had started piecing things together, I hadn't figured it all out by the end which was a pleasant surprise.

Overall, not my favorite but it was okay.
