I went into this book expecting something very different to what I got, which was surprising but not bad. I expected more mystery around what happened to her daughter, but instead we found that out relatively early and focus was given to the events after the fact. It was more of a fiction with mystery elements than a mystery thriller, in my opinion.

The multiple points of view were interesting to see the different takes on what happened and how it impacted a range of people in and around the story; however, rehashing the main event of the story four or five times did get a little tedious in the end.

Definitely a good and interesting read and I was not expecting a lot of things that happened. I would recommend for mystery fans more so than suspenseful thriller fans, but it's an enjoyable and relatively quick read nonetheless.
