I would really give this four and a half stars if this was an option! I thought this was an extremely strong start to a novel. The premise of this story, a babysitter being attacked and the suspect disappearing, is not a new one. However, the way the story is told is very unique. I like the opening to the story, which was about 10 pages. It was very solid and I could see it being a short story all on its own.
I could easily see this book as a movie. The pace of this section was very good. It moved quickly to keep the readers attention. However, I never felt like it moved too fast to cause confusion. The passage went by very quickly. I made it completely to the end without realizing it! I felt connected to the main character, who was also the narrator. This story also started to introduced some uncertainty of the killers identity in the last few pages. I really want to know what happens next!
