BOOK REVIEW
This book brought me to tears. It is a story told from the POV of the grieving father , his turmoil, guilt,grief are all described so well that you feel his pain. You become invested, in his fight for justice and the truth. You want him to put to rest all the regret he feels for not being in his eyes a better father. His fight for the truth takes him on a dark lonely path , alienating people in his desperate search. He is haunted by the ghost of his daughter and he knows that while ever her murderer is out there she wont rest in peace. The first suspect seems to be the one but is he Jake is not totally convinced. Jake takes on those that want the death wrapped up as soon as possible leaving him convinced there is some form of conspiracy. The book charts his seemingly self destructive path to the truth , and we the reader are grieving alongside him as he struggles on. They tension, pace and depth of the book make it an engrossing book and one i finished in one day. Totally moved by the description of Jakes thoughts and feelings it could have made for hard reading, but for me it was also uplifting and poignant. The final truth when it is revealed is such a shock not only to him but to me as i never saw it coming. A different take on a crime novel by using the POV of the grieving family over the detectives searching for the killers make it a fabulously powerful book.
Thanks to Harper Collins and Netgalley for my copy of the book as always they are my own thoughts and opinions on the book.
