Loved this book!! I thought the author drew you in immediately & continued the fast pace, while bouncing between characters dialogues. The addition of internal police updates, newspaper headlines,  & viral blogs helps create tension throughout the novel.  As for the Characters, well developed & I was surprised by ending. But not disappointed. I have already recommended this book to 3 of my friends.

I was a little disappointed in this book. There was a great bit of suspense and twist, but what really bothered me about this book was the police. I get that in most cases the parents/family are under suspicion...but I felt the police kept going in every direction but the right one. They seemed so focused on the family that they missed other signs. Now I get that in this particular case they were short staffed and running on major over time as it was...but I just felt there could've been more. It really scares me because it makes me think of how focused cops become on one suspect instead of looking at the bigger picture.

Also the media...the way the media was portrayed really got to me bc there is so much truth to it! The media likes to blow things way out of proportion and/or focus in on one thing and not the bigger picture. The public was also portrayed well...so many people today sit behind their computer and bash people or give their opinion on the matter without knowing the whole story. They don't realize the effect it can have on the accuser or the victim.

Sooo....as far as the book is concerned it was a good, quick read! Had a lot of truth to it that makes you really ask, "what's wrong w our society". I also felt the way she depicted the mom and police officer and told their sides was nice. It was nice to see the police officer's pain and struggle, as well as the moms. I definitely would recommend this book!
