Normally, I would avoid reading a book from the third-person perspective but this review makes me want to give it a try, which I will by the way. Adding this to my 'Want to read' shelf'. Thank you so much for this incredible review!

Thanks for your review. This seems to be an intriguing crime novel with well-crafted characters. I wonder what Joan Chandler wants to do with her own grandchild, Rachael.

As I was reading the review. this crime novel seems to be worth the read. Despite its lengthy pages, the book offers a lot of great potential. I am eager to find out more about what led to Rachel Chandler missing, and the rift that Tyler chandler had with his mother. There is so much mystery that I want to unravel so I will definitely be adding this book to my reading list!
