This is a pretty good book although I was not sure where it was heading at times. However, it a;; pulled together at the end. A good read.

Julia Heaberlin writes a smart thriller, delivered through the voices of three protagonists over the years. Trumanell Branson is the first narrator and the first young woman to disappear in this novel set in a small Texas town where everyone knows everyone else's business, but they usually don't interfere. Odette Tucker, who grew up with Trumanell, picks up the narration 10 years later when she is a cop in her hometown. Finally, Angel, a girl whom Odette helps into a new life, picks up the narration and works to solve the decades-old mystery of the disappearance of Trumanell. I found the characters to be engaging and was really rooting for Odette to solve the mystery! I listened on Audible and I enjoyed each of the narrator's interpretations of their characters. While I wish the ending had been different, that is a testament to the writer that I cared enough about the characters to feel that way. Interesting enough for me to finish in a few day's time, I would rate this a well-written summer travel/beach read type.
