What a incredibly crafted plot mixing different genres seamlessly. The love story broke my heart and the mystery had me dying to find out whodunit.

The story is set in 1975, girls are going missing and one in particular, the target of a wealthy family, is saved by a boy, who becomes a local hero. But he leaves heartache in his wake. The story continues over 25 years or longer and while it was quite dark and terrifying, it was also hopeful. So hard to review without spoilers, so I must leave it there. Certainly a memorable novel.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Hachette for this gifted review copy.
