3.0

his book has been marketed as a thriller. While it does have thriller elements and does revolve around a mystery, I don't really know that I would consider it a traditional thriller. In fact, I think certain aspects of the thriller plot are a letdown BUT this book really shines in exploring what happens when random internet sleuths get involved in real cases with real people involved in them. That's the reason I think people who like true crime, thrillers and mysteries should read this book.

The plot revolves around the unsolved disappearance of Teddy's sister, the impact on Teddy's family and the consequences of random strangers on the internet trying to solve the case. The entire time I was reading this, I couldn't help but think of Maura Murray and everything that's happened to her family since the collective internet decided to "solve" the mystery of her disappearance.

I recommend this one if you want a thought provoking exploration of what our current societal obsession means for victims and those closest to the victim.
