Kate’s timeline runs from the day of the accident until the mystery has been solved. The book alternates between Kate and Amelia’s third person perspectives, as well as including Amelia’s texts and Facebook statuses. Objectively, I think it’s a really good mystery, but I was left with pretty mild feelings for it, because, though more character-based than most, it still didn’t bring me the feels.The first half of the book was a bit slow, but really picked up once Kate began seriously investigating her daughter’s death. Still, I like to try new things occasionally and I’d heard good buzz about this particular mystery. It’s hard to care about the resolution if I don’t care about the characters, and mystery readers care about the mystery more than the people, as a general rule. They’re very plot-based and I’m a character-based reader. Mysteries are just not my genre of choice.
