I wasn't sure what to expect when reading this, and still confused about how I feel about the novel.

I didn't enjoy the writing in this novel. Or any of the characters. However, I did enjoy the ending, and for that reason it is not a 3 star book.

This wasn't really a new idea. I remember seeing an episode of Law and Order SVU with almost the exact same premise a few years ago.. however the ending was different.

I do wish we got to know the characters a little better, perhaps hearing more from Laurie, Ben & Jake. Also from Jenny as a child.. Also, more about Jobeth as a child to help understand her motives...

It is the kind of book you can read in one sitting. Would I read again? No, but I did still enjoy it.
