About this deal
The Woolery family resides in Stanhope, NY, an upscale suburban neighborhood thought to be quite safe. How many thrillers these days start with a small town and a girl who vanished years earlier, her body never found? With plots intricately woven, characters skillfully drawn, and shifting narratives that kept me on my toes, I inhaled this book. year-old Avery has gone missing, and police are baffled, She is known to be a difficult child, and her father was the last to see her, not that he will admit to it. I mean, it does kind do a lot around the 65% mark, but I felt the whackadoodle behaviour was explained well enough.
When he arrives home William discovers his 9-year-old daughter Avery home alone and soon learns that she was sent home early for misbehaving at school. Even when the witness said that Avery got in Ryan’s car, they continued to investigate other possibilities while waiting for forensics to come back on Ryan’s car and phone. Anyways, the plot isn't anything original but I like that it was straight-forward and didn't try to do TOO much. I know kids can be precocious but this child seemed having thoughts and plans that seemed beyond her years.It affected me personally as my son developed behavioural problems at nine and was diagnosed with ADHD. Gully and Bledsoe discuss the anonymous witness could be and agree it has to be someone on Connaught Street.
Her method of blending the missing child plotline with the adulterous lives of the neighbours contrasts well even before Lapena adds a generous dose of manipulation.Let this book sweep you away into 1960s Italy with its swirling mystery full of family history, secrets, and drama. The first half or the book (up until you found out what happened to the missing girl) is gripping and the constant change of suspect was very suspenseful. As the title suggests, there are multiple suspects, and everyone seems to be hiding something, making it hard to pinpoint the perpetrator and their motive. Arlidge shifts perspectives between these (somewhat) rehabilitated offenders, the victims’ relatives, still traumatised, and the vigilantes responsible for the leaks.
