About this listen

Years ago, in the town of Saxon Falls, young Kelsey Willard disappeared and was presumed dead. The tragedy left her family with a fractured life - a mother out to numb the pain, a father losing a battle with his own private demons, and a sister desperate for closure. But now another teenage girl has gone missing. It's ripping open old wounds for the Willards, dragging them back into a painful past, and leaving them unprepared for where it will take them next.

Bureau of Criminal Investigation agent Mark Foster has stumbled on uncanny parallels in the lives of the two missing girls that could unlock clues to a serial killer's identity. That means breaking down the walls of the Willards' long-guarded secrets and getting to a truth that is darker than he bargained for. Now, to rescue one missing girl, he must first solve the riddles that disappeared with another: Kelsey Willard herself. Dead or alive, she is his last hope.

This story is told from the perspective of 5 different characters, although all in the third person. They are the mother, father and sister of a former victim of a serial killer who is currently considered "missing", the current kidnap victim of the killer, and a government agent trying to track the killer down and solve the case.

The daughter is both likable and well narrated, and was easily my favourite perspective to listen to. The mother was also narrated well, but wasn't too likable. The father and detective were both pretty average all around, and the young female victim had an interesting perspective, but was annoying to listen to.

The start of the book was a little droll and was hard to get into, but it did improve. Yet it never reached a level of shocking amazement that you always hope a book like this will. There was a twist, which you likely won't see coming until just before the big reveal, but it still didn't make me fall in love with the story.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Not bad, but not amazing...
