Our Review

This haunting debut novel explores the devastating aftermath of a small town tragedy when Abi Campbell's brother Jack—an eighteen-year-old academic star with a promising future—vanishes without a trace. Hannah King masterfully builds suspense through magnetic prose and unforgettable characters, creating an atmosphere thick with unspoken secrets and family tensions that will keep readers turning pages late into the night.

What makes this story particularly compelling is how King transforms a missing person investigation into a profound exploration of family complexities and the blind spots we all carry about those closest to us. Teen readers and young adults will connect deeply with the portrayal of fractured relationships and the haunting question of how well we truly know anyone, even our own family members. The emotional resonance of this beautifully written narrative lingers long after the final page, making it an unforgettable reading experience for anyone who appreciates character-driven suspense.
