4.5 stars!
This book has been on my shelf collecting dust for years and I had no expectations going into the book. It seems like most of the thrillers releasing in the last year have mostly felt similar and I was getting bored reading them.

I couldn’t put the book down and it was exactly what I have been longing for when reading a thriller.

Definitely check this one out if you love a good psychological thriller.

I thought this was a bit too slow there were some good WOW moments but it took me a long time to get into this. Decent thriller but not super memorable as McCreights Good Marriage.

HOLY SHIT. Loved this so much more than I expected to. No cliffhangers, no depressing ends, definitely worth the read!

I enjoyed the story and the characters, but there were a few things thrown in close to the end that didn't seem believable. Not that these books are supposed to be believable, but I could have used one less twist/turn. However, I wasn't bored at all.

I was hooked after reading the first page. There are a host of interesting and troubled characters, both adults and teens. Molly is new to town and is working for the local paper trying to find something she feels good about doing after a long bout with severe depression following a still birth. Her husband Justin is a professor at the college and seems to have only Molly’s best interest at heart. Barbara and Steve seem like the ideal couple. He is the police chief and she is super mom to 5 year old Cole and 16 year old Hannah. Stella is a single mom with two children the same age as Barbara and Steve’s. Then there are Jenna and her teen-aged daughter Sandy. Jenna is a mess and always has been. Sandy is trying really hard to rise above her social standing and make something of her life. Where They Found Her is a multilayered thriller which entwines relationship stories with a crime novel. Heart wrenching and lots of secrets make this story of betrayal and sadness a must read for 2015!

Great mystery about about dead baby. It is twisty and intriguing, although I guessed part of the who dunnit.
