The first chapter was so boring.. it wasn't until the end of the second chapter that it really picks up the pace.
Falling short of a 5 star review as I didn't like the ending. I really really don't like endings that are left open (unless the book is part of a series) - it makes me feel as if the author was too lazy to think of an actual ending.
If a sequel comes out I would read it however, I really didn't want this book to be part of a series as it would have done well on its own if the ending wasn't left open.
P.s. AS IF they would put a 5 year old girl on the stand in a courtroom and repeatedly ask her (bombard) with questions even after she says multiple times she wants to get down!
Received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review: 3.5 out of 4 stars

What would you do if a girl knocked on your window looking to get into a car and you had a child in the backseat and it was dark out? Would you risk letting her into your car? Or would you, as Faith Saunders did, ignore the plea even though the girl in question was soon joined by two men who were looking for her.
All The Little Pieces by Jilliane Hoffan is a first-rate thriller..
This book is greatt. I was gripped from the first page all the way til the end. Hoffman has dealt with alcoholism, the law, the justice system, sexual assault, mental health and a whole host of other sensitive issues incredibly well in All The Little Pieces whilst keeping the novel feeling real.
I only found myself becoming more entrenched and invested in the plot and lives of the characters as I was reading. It was painful to see Faith’s life change so drastically when it really boiled down to her being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hoffman has dealt with alcoholism, the law, the justice system, sexual assault, mental health and a whole host of other sensitive issues that she is known for in her books.
This is a must read for sure!!

vespertineonly's review against another edition
In ihrem mittlerweile sechsten Band verfolgt Jilliane Hoffman nicht wie bisher die Geschichte aus der Sicht der Täter, der Opfer oder der Ermittelnden, sondern lässt erstmals eine Zeugin ihre Sicht der Geschehnisse Revue passieren. Spannend kann dieser Roman nur durch eine durch und durch unsympathische Hauptfigur werden, wodurch der gesamte Thriller zu einem zweitklassigen Schundroman degradiert wird. Der langersehnte nächste Band, der nach dem bereits sehr schwachen "Argus" ihre Fans mit sich versöhnen sollte, lässt nur den Beigeschmack einer Autorin, die ihren Zenit überschritten hat und nur mehr Romane produziert, um ihre Verleger glücklich zu machen - Cash Cow fällt einem dabei ein.
Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass der einstige Star am Crime-Himmel mit dem nächsten Roman einen Pageturner schreibt wie einst Cupido oder Morpheus es waren oder die Feder endgültig zur Seite legt.
Enttäuschend
