I have no idea how/why this was recommended to me, but I actually enjoyed it. Moreso for the first half than the second half. The entire "When a child vanishes on the night of the party" plot was less interesting to me than the first half which was more about two "friends" who secretly despise each other. There was plenty more to explore there. This is not a thriller, more of a drama with an event that happens to keep the dialogue going- ( )
