A gripping and thrilling mystery that kept me buzzing through the pages of the book. I found this book fully engaging and utterly entertaining. It was one of those reads that was unlike any other book I have read. There is something so purely human about this story...something that gets to the core of human tragedy and captures the the aftermath. Such a hard to put down read

average story line
I received a copy of this book courtesy of NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was not your traditional mystery. There is not a lot of investigating by the police.
The focus is on understanding the three main characters, Cameron, Jade and Russ. I think the author's intent with providing so much detail on all the characters and the side stories was to distract you from solving the mystery. The mystery did not seem to be the focus of this story.
What I didn't like:
Jade's perspective is told in two ways. One, what she actually says. Two, what she wishes she would say through a play she is writing. This felt redundant to me and distracting.
The story was slow in the beginning.
Some of the side stories seemed unnecessary and distracting. For instance, Jade's conversations with the homeless man. I could not see what this added to the story.
What I did like:
Towards the end of the book I enjoyed the detail of the characters and the relationship with each other.
I did not guess the ending.
Who would like this book:
If you like relationship drama with a little touch of mystery thrown in, you might like this book. This is NOT an edge of your seat thriller or compelling murder mystery.
