There are a few spots where it felt like the author was scrambling for "okay, now what else could go wrong?", but the voice of Jack, the protagonist and narrator, is very engaging, and the story does a tremendous job of getting maximum impact out of small details.Â
It was also nice to see some breaking of standard thriller tropes: The villain is not near-infallible, and really isn't even a major focus of the story. The cops and medical people are competent and compassionate, and the supporting cast is provided a good degree of depth of character, even through what we observe by way of Jack.
Moderate: Kidnapping, Rape, and Miscarriage
