This was unputdownable and the quest to find my way through the suspense consumed my life. I work full time and am a mother of 3 + a husaband...and I still finished the book in 4 days.

North spins a tale so chilling and real it'll make your skin crawl and keep you looking over your shoulder, locking your doors and watching your kids closely. Father son relationships propel this mystery through a series of surprises and intricate detail to lead you to an overall satisfying ending.
