WOW!! It has been years since a book has been able to surprise me so well. In reality, I could have guessed it, but I was so absorbed and wrapped up in these characters, I felt deliciously blindsided!
The Children on the Hill explores relational trauma and what a person chooses to do with that trauma. I loved everything about this book, from the character development, the plot, the pace, the conclusion. It really has been a long time since I've read a mystery that I so thoroughly enjoyed every aspect.
Don't mind me, just on my way to tell absolutely everyone I know to read this book!
