3.0
I liked the premise of this book: three women affected by a mass shooting. However, the storytelling was just ok. Unfortunately, the "mystery" that ties the three women together was apparent early on, making me impatient throughout much of the book. Other than the mentions of the local university and a significant company in Boise, this book could have been set anywhere. I would have liked more local flavor.
