5.0
This is a fast-paced, compelling, unique thriller that I could not put down. I like the speculative elements and what they teach this main character about the mystery, but more importantly what they teach her about herself and her family. There's a lot of insightful rumination on motherhood here; being in the moment, guilt, the impact of a mother on a child, work balance, etc. I like the multi-layered mysteries and how discovering the solution to one crime just uncovers more lies and more crimes.
Graphic: Death and Murder
Moderate: Suicide, Kidnapping, and Death of parent
