The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf
3.0
This book started out really strong. The first pages grabbed me and pulled me in, but then it seemed like the story got bogged down in details and flashbacks from each of the characters. The middle moved very slowly, but then the pace picked back up in the end.
I thought the characters were well-developed. I wish the author gave us the story from the alcoholic father’s POV too. It just seemed like we got a lot from all of the major players - except him.
The one other thing that annoyed me was Louis’ wife. Good grief; why throw a fit and leave your husband while he’s smack-dab in the middle of a potential double abduction situation? It just seemed far-fetched, especially when compared with the rest of the story. But then, maybe it’s just me.
