This book dragged on and didn’t live up to the hype. The rich acted as if they were superior to everyone else and their morals were terribly flawed. There were a couple of red herrings, and while the truth behind one missing child was heartbreaking, the other made sense. Not sure if this was a good snapshot of the 70s era. But honestly, it didn’t need to be nearly 500 pages long. Book #103 in 2024
Well written with strong memorable characters. Interesting setting for a story that creates vivid imagery. Many of the characters struggle to find themselves. It seems to be an assessment of young vs. old and learning about trust.
Plot was interesting but I was expecting more from the reveal or at least something more dramatic. Definitely a let down. The timeline is super difficult to follow
What I liked: The setting in the Adirondack Mountains makes the reader want to take a summer vacation there. What I disliked: Messy writing. A good editor was needed to clean up two mysteries told with jumbled timelines and from 7 different character perspectives.
Loved the beginning of this book and the plot was great ! I will say through out the book it did get confusing and kind of drag on.
