“Kept me frantically turning the pages and somehow made me cry at the end . . . Brava!”—Kristin Hannah, author of The Women

“Melds tense suspense with a powerful exploration of devotion, obsession, and love.”—People (Best New Books)

1975 is a time of change in America. The Vietnam War is ending. Muhammad Ali is fighting Joe Frazier. And in the smalltown of Monta Clare, Missouri, girls are disappearing.

When the daughter of a wealthy family is targeted, the most unlikely hero emerges—Patch, a local boy, who saves the girl, and, in doing so, leaves heartache in his wake.

Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. And that their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean losing one another.

A missing person mystery, a serial killer thriller, a love story, a unique twist on each, Chris Whitaker has written a novel about what lurks in the shadows of obsession and the blinding light of hope.

Although this book was a bit of a slog at times, it kind of needed to be to show the passage of time and the challenges of moving ahead. It was all worth it to get to the last part of the book where the pieces came together. Beautiful, flawed, complicated characters and an intricate story. Loved it!

Thrillers are not always my cup of tea but somehow this one had lots of details and intrigue but not just the gore of a serial killer.

I had been put off this book by its sheer 550 pages but it was a pretty good read. It felt hard to get through with the language used but at the same time I couldn’t put it down. Crime drama but more focused on relationships. 7/10

Great book. Loved the ending. It was very satisfying. The middle dragged a bit but I did love being able to get to know the characters and see their lives throughout the years.
