Ok, this is a difficult one for me.

I can see where this book would definitely be really good to some, just not me. I couldn't connect with any of the characters and the plot was odd and clunky for me. I stuck with it till the end, but ultimately got no satisfaction from it.
I love dark reads and I don't mind ambiguity, but this one just felt...meh? Maybe? It just wasn't a good fit for me.

I enjoyed this psychological thriller that follows two mysteries: a quadruple homocide in the past and a drowning in the present. Fans of Chaon's earlier work will find the tone and storytelling familiar. Quick pacing and good build up of tension. I was a left a little unsatisfied by the ending, which lowered my overall opinion slightly. A solid stand-alone read for readers of the mystery/thriller genre.

The premise of the story was interesting. However, it was all over the place timewise. It was a cacophony of flashbacks and pov changes which made it very tedious to read.
