A tale of a missing girl, corruption, and parents who love their kids. This story follows Julia, a detective investigating a a girl who vanished in a dead end alleyway, Lewis, a father who's daughter is missing, and Emma, who's son is a suspect. I have only read Wrong Place Wrong Time by this author but, like that book this is incredibly well thought out and mysterious. It is incredibly slow in the middle. The fact that the only povs are of the parents of the main characters in this mystery makes it hard to connect to the actual story. It's also a tad hard to like any of them. I think the last 25% was much more intriguing than the first 75%.
