To say this book is a riveting read would be an understatement, I read this book within two days because I didn’t want to stop reading.
Cara’s arrival in Arizona and the initial
mystery that surrounded it hooked me and then as she becomes intrigued by the
story of a missing girl so did I.
I felt like I was being
pulled along as slowly but with perfect pacing the story unfolds and answers
are given. At times I wanted to scream because of the shift in the narrative at
a moment I thought I was going to find something out, but that’s all the fun of
this type of book, it keeps you gripped to the page.
The story of the missing girl
is told using transcripts of a TV show and articles which Cara watches/reads. I
thought that this would put me off at first but it didn’t because I needed answers
and found myself eagerly reading page after page.
I don’t usually read crime
novels and I expected to read a plot driven thriller. But this novel has not
only a gripping plot but likeable realistic characters; I even liked- to my
surprise- the outspoken ‘Tarin’, (I think she’s my favourite).
Towards the end of the story
my interest started to wane because the viewpoint changed-but I urge anyone not
to be put off by this (if you are) because any negative opinions I had quickly
changed by the time I reached the conclusion.
The solution to the mystery
was very clever! And the ending: woah!
But you’ll have to read it
and find out for yourself. I’m trying hard not to give the best bits away.
I need a breather after
reading this book but I enjoyed it and will be reading more like it in future.
