I have very mixed feelings about this book. It is the story of the abduction and murder of a troubled young woman by a psychopath who lives nearby. The story is told from many points of view, a la Jodi Picoult: the victim's fiance, her mother, the killer, his accomplice, and a "searcher" who is working to find her. There were so many voices speaking in the first half of the book that I felt the plot slowed, and none of the characters seemed very appealing. However, during the second half of the book the story came together, and lives of the characters became more interconnected. I rate this book 4 stars: 3 for the first half, and 5 for the second.
