Thanks so much to NetGalley, Penguin Random House, Ballantine Books, and Julia Heaberlin for the opportunity to read and review her latest book - this is a very good psychological thriller. 4.5 stars
Grace was 12 years old when her older sister, Rachel, went missing. Her body or her killer were never found. Grace spent practically every moment since then obsessing about Rachel's killer. When her investigations lead her to Carl, a famous photographer who is now living in a halfway house and has been diagnosed with dementia, she hatches a plan to get him to confess to the murder of not only Rachel but other young women she has discovered and related back to Carl. She spends much preparation time and eventually pretends to be his long-lost daughter who is anxious to take him on a road trip.
The road trip is quite the cat-and-mouse game - and you're never quite sure of anyone's plans or motives. Is Carl a serial killer? Or is he just a sick old man? Neither trust each other which leads to quite a few crazy adventures.
This book is very well-written and holds you in its grasp until things are resolved. Loved the haunting pictures in the book and be sure to read the author's note. Highly recommended!
