This was a mystery that I couldn't put down by the second half of the book! I listened to a large majority of it this morning before work, and I was hooked as the mystery started unravelling. It is paced just right so that you will be desperate to know how everything was going to play out.

The author's note at the end also explains why she wrote this particular story, trying to bring to light the fact that so many Indigenous women disappear. There was a podcast sort of woven into the story line, and I liked how felt like it was connecting the book to the real world. All in all, just a really solid mystery read all around.
