I thought it was paced very well. I wasn't quite sure what exactly the twist was going to be. It's not unique (but rarely are they in this genre), but written well as was the reveal. Bel was insufferable as a character but I came around to her in the last 100 or so pages. All in all I enjoyed the read and was excited to discover what actually happened to Rachel.

One minor complaint - Shelly still felt like a loose end. What happens in a few weeks when she finds Jeff isn't in Canada. She didn't actually do anything and it'd be very difficult to prove she knew about Carter. I felt maybe the character could have been handled differently.
