Wow...I mean, wow. This is another mystery that is so innovative and chilling that it has left me speechless. A lot of thrillers' plot takes place while the crime is taking place. Never encountered a mystery/thriller that deals with the aftermath. Readers of the genre will find this different from what they usually read but that is a good thing. They are in for a ride that takes an insightful look at what happens to the survivors of a horrific crime. The nonlinear storytelling may be odd but it makes this character-driven storyline more horrific and realistic as readers are taken down the dark path of real monsters of the world.
