I am still unsure how I feel about the ending. I enjoyed this story of a family whose two kids go missing (at different times) and all that ensues. The short chapters helped the story move along and that helped the time jumps not be so confusing.

Based on true events, I love that this focuses on the victims of a serial killer and those they loved and how the tragedy of their deaths also changes the lives of everyone around them.

Quill is out for a run and hears a woman scream. What ensues is scary, dangerous, and highlights how many indigenous women go missing or are killed each year and the lack of police response.
