To Tell You the Truth by Gilly Macmillan

I honestly have mixed feelings about this one. Or to be rather I don't know how to feel about this one.
The blurb was a very interesting, made me want to read the book righ away. Story revolves around Lucy, who is a best selling author of a detective series featuring Elisa. Elisa is Lucy imaginary friend since childhood that nobody knows about, and she sees her, talks to her. Problem begins when Lucy's husband Dan, goes missing, only to be later found dead. Police start investigating and soon find out that when Lucy was 9 years old her little brother teddy had also gone missing mysteriously and was never found.
The chapters were alternating between now and then in a dual timeline told from the point of view of Lucy, the main protagonist. To me the main protagonist seemed very confused and she kept on doing very crazy things including breaking into others houses and digging up graves. I mean it did not make sense to me.
Biggest turn off for me was - where is the closure? I mean I understand that this was supposed to be a psychological thriller and lot of psychological thrillers has a hanging end, but this one is was just incomplete. Not to reveal any spoilers but by the end of the book The sort of get a idea of what must have happened but there is no closure.
