(  ) izzied | Oct 29, 2020 | I really liked The Marriage Lie and I enjoy Kimberly Belle's writing so obviously this book was good! I was hooked from the very first page. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. What happened to Ethan?! Lots of suspense and tension. I did see some things coming a mile away, and it did start to unravel for me towards the end, but overall this was an entertaining read that held my attention and had me looking forward to when I could pick it back up. I liked reading from Kat's perspective as well as Stef's and I liked how they were woven together. I can't wait for more from this author.

Here we have an 8-year-old who disappears from an overnight class trip. His parents are divorced, there is a restraining order, his mom is struggling financially, everyone assumes dad must be involved somehow. But where is the boy, and how was this done?
Belle has some of her tricks here--kids doing kid stuff that adults/police don't consider or even imagine. Characters who are both good and flawed, and so hard to root for or against. Good seeming characters who are mostly flawed. Her minor characters get more time and more detail than many authors give.
That said, the solution here was obvious--the foreshadowing is foretelling, the story just becomes a way to explain the why and how.
The Hoopla audio also had some issues--what I think were redone/corrected bits were inserted in (with a different actor?) and were obvious cuts because of ambient noise on the recordings. Not a huge deal, a bit jarring but not unexpected on an older work from early in an author's career. (
