She is ready to track answers and get the exclusive scoop for her newspaper. A baby&#8217;s remains were found. As she begins to uncover who this child was, she learns of another tragedy-several years earlier, a newborn was stolen from the hospital and never found. Kate has no clue if\/how these stories are linked, but she&#8217;s determined to get to the bottom of it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book took me a very long time to read. The pandemic is partially to blame&#8211;the book features heavy topics that were hard to read at a time like this. The chapters were very short (sometimes only one page) and changed character perspectives. Normally, I&#8217;d like this. With the amount of characters and in-chapter flashbacks, I found the format to be more confusing that I would&#8217;ve liked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beginning was slow. As two mysteries are being established, I felt like much of the first half was developing characters and giving context. Once the background was established, the story really picked up. I couldn&#8217;t put it down for the last 25%. I was expecting the twist, but predicting it didn&#8217;t ruin the story for me. Overall, this was a pretty good psychological thriller. Had the build up been pared down, I wouldn&#8217;t enjoyed it much more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3\/5 stars Kate Waters can sense this will be a good story.
