Multiple timelines and characters converge in this well-built thriller. Many reviews characterize it as a horror novel, but I see it as a thriller a little on the far-end of the creepy spectrum.
Some readers have said they found it confusing. I didn't, though I was careful to pay attention because I had read reviews ahead of time.
Sometimes the citizen detective trope is tired and hard to believe, but in this one I found it plausible because there was a history of estrangement, and the MC thought her brother could be in danger and wanted to protect him, rather than just stalking a killer for the fun of it.
I liked the mystery elements and the generational aspect of it.
At the end, I had a couple unanswered questions, but nothing that was so crucial to the plot that it was unforgivable.
I liked that there is a lot that is left open to the interpretation of the reader. Some readers see almost a supernatural element in this book that I did not. It's cool when two people can enjoy something and also perceive it very differently.
I will be looking for other books by this author.
