After letting you call in love with all these parents and children Moriarty rocks your world when she reveals who was murdered and how it happened. I only wish she hadn't ruined it by trying to make the ending to happy. It was dark content matter and it would have been ok to stay dark to the last page.
This book has some pretty heavy triggers in it. Worth checking out if they will bother you, but for anyone who isn't set off by them I'd say this is a worthwhile read.
