Billed as a book that "You won't be able to put down". I didn't find this to be the case. It was an okay book. Certainly kept you guessing about what actually happened with red herrings and twists, until the very-last-page. Yet, it felt at times to be more drawn out than necessary.
I felt the daughter, Olive was well-developed and I suppose mother, Billie was as well because I found myself really not liking Billie at all. Time and time again she proved to be a coward.
I doubt I'll read another by this author as I have read much more captivating mystery novels by other authors.
Quotes: "You don't realize how much you'll miss the asphyxiating intimacy of early parenthood until you can finally breath again."
"'Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.'"
"...how the collective pain of the world sometimes made it hard to breathe."
