deshanejt's review against another edition

Too many characters.
Too much time-jumping without clarification.
Too much fluffy details that aren't pertinent to the story at all.

Started out strong, but too hard to follow.

This book is a bone chilling mystery of multiple missing people, and the deeper the dive the more connections that are mad. The characters are so easy to love and the plot line grips you keeping you engaged just to find out what happens.  I wish there was a bit more to the story the ending was a bit out there and the fact that a whole neighborhood saw/ heard nothing seems out there as well.

Was enjoyable, wish some things were explored more rather than quickly wrapped up at the end.
