Interesting case

Revisado: 06-22-24

The case and story telling was pretty good. There was a lot of fat shaming and looks shaming that if found weird and didn’t enjoy. Saying things like she was chubby so no boy would want her coming from an adult about a child. Could have done without that aspect.

Seriously surprised by the ending.

Revisado: 04-06-22

The ending leaves you feeling a bit like you were run over by a truck but it is a book that will leave me thinking for awhile.

A real tear jerker

Revisado: 02-27-22

I love the story and the narration. The story was a bit harder to listen to than I expected but it was worth the cry.

Unlivable main character for me.

Revisado: 12-22-21

I felt for the woman in this story but also struggled to not strongly dislike her. She makes a number of racist or discriminatory comments and that is on top of just being kinda unlikable on a whole. Some points of the story would have been pretty good if you were able to look past only half rooting for her.

Makes me want to hit the trails and continue the search.

I have been following this case from the first day as a resident of the PNW. Kyron has a way of tugging right at the heart strings and this book really tells the whole story better than anything I have seen
so far. We need to bring him home!

Not as good as her other books

Revisado: 10-13-19

I have really enjoyed a few of her books but this one was obvious for me even as it felt like the book was being obviously deceptive. I don’t enjoy it when I can figure out all the twists a long time before the book reveal. Maybe just me.

Meh

Revisado: 08-26-19

There were parts I liked, but overall I didn’t much care about these characters and I personally don’t like when I am not given the clues needed to ever solve a mystery. This one blatantly lies although the reason is given. Just want my cup of tea.

I loved it.

Revisado: 08-23-19

I saw a lot of negative reviews on this book after I had already downloaded it. I figured what the heck I will still give it a listen. I loved it. I do see where some of the criticism comes from. The narrator has a pretty monotone speech pattern and in listening format the time jumps can be confusing for a moment or two. The plot and story however are fun and engaging with lots of little twists and turns. Nothing to mind blowing but enough to keep me listening with anticipation. I found a connection to the characters having lived once in a town just like the one she depicted. I felt it was pretty spot on to what it can be like in a small tourist town when you are a year round resident. I will now be checking out her other books.

Obvious ending

Revisado: 08-03-19

Was a good plot idea that was just way to obvious to have much of a climactic ending. I found myself waiting for the characters to figure things out long before they did and would even forget that didn’t know things because it was so obvious. Can’t say I wasn’t entertained by it, but couldn’t recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge in discovering a mystery.

Didn’t live up to other reviews.

Revisado: 06-29-19

As a teacher I admit that the worry and fear of what if doesn’t cross my mind basically every day. I wanted to hear this book to hear how the healing took place and hoped to think and ponder what was on the mind of the troubled boy. While it did have a fast moving plot and kept my attention it left me feeling like I wasted the time. If you just want a fast paced thrill story maybe you would like this. I personally don’t want to have that reaction to a story about this kind of tragedy.
