- Twenty years ago, a baby was snatched right out of a stroller in a supermarket. In present day, someone is murdered in a nursing home. How are these related? You’ll have to read to find out!
- The four POVs + connected folks are:
- Patience: an 18 year old working at a nursing home.
- Edith: an elderly woman living at a nursing home.
- Clio: a therapist.
- Frankie: a prison librarian
- This marks the 5th book I’ve read by Feeney. I think there’s only one I haven’t read yet of hers. I love her writing style. Her books flow nicely, and I typically get through them pretty quickly. I made it through this one in a day.
- Feeney does a great job developing characters & is an expert at plotting a good thriller.
- This kept my attention throughout, and I kept wanting to see how everything was connected. I enjoyed how little details are sprinkled throughout & everything starts coming together.
- Although some aspects of the story are predictable, it didn’t take away the enjoyment for me.
- The ending was okay. Not amazing, but not bad.
- I am a sucker for complex family relationships, and there’s a lot of those in this one.
- There are multiple POVs & multiple timelines in this one.
