I’ll be honest: I didn’t actually like this until about halfway through, and I would have given up if there hadn’t have been the earlier timeline story. The main character in the present day, Andrea, is, for want of another word, wet. Even before the initial incident happens that sets off a chain of events, she just seems really apathetic. I took quite a long time to warm to her, and even then I can’t say as I particularly liked her.
The timeline in the 80s though, was fascinating. A terrorist group where the leader seems to be in complete control of his ‘soldiers’ who answer to him. A woman, Jane, is the main protagonist in this timeline, and she is a bit of a sorry figure. She has been controlled by her father, and then is controlled by her lover, the terrorist leader. She does have more backbone than Andrea however, and takes control of her life. Which I suppose Andy also does eventually. But it takes her a while - and it takes two awful events at the beginning of the book to give the process a kickstart.
I liked the story very much on the whole. It’s fast paced and exciting. My first Karin Slaughter book probably won’t be my last.

The protagonist in this book is Lizzie, a young woman who is dealing with mental health issues every single day. Her life changes, after she receives a letter from her childhood friend/sweetheart Roman. He was her best friend/boyfriend during her teenage years, who helped her to go through many difficult situations. But one day, he just disappeared. Now Lizzie, with the help of her best friend, trying to find Roman to find out, why he left her when she needed him the most.

This novel has very complex characters, and I really liked the way the author developed them throughout the pages. I liked Lizzie a lot, she is very strong, even though she doesn’t realise it sometimes. She is willing to go out of her comfort zones on multiple occasions, in order to find Roman. I really enjoyed the multiple timelines in this novel as well, we not only follow the search but also have an amazing insight into Lizzie’s past.

The author played with the narrative very smartly and creatively. The narrative is always changing, and every chapter ends with a cliffhanger. That made this book a true page-turner. All I wanted was for Lizzie to find Roman, and all the “near misses” were driving me insane!
