The most ambitious novel Liz Moore has written and well worth the hype! 

Almost everyone in the literary world seems to know this book. In 1975 a 13-year old girl named Barbara, who is also the camp owner's child, disappears from summer camp, just like her older brother did 14 years ago. The reader is introduced to the key players, many of which who are the same, in both the 1961 and 1975 storylines. This is a slow burn mystery that tackles a lot of different themes, some of which: wealth, power, women's roles, motherhood, loyalty, identity, and more.  

My favorite character was Judyta. I felt she was crafted so well, and I would love to see her in future books as she matures even more and becomes an even better investigator.

I had expected more 1970s vibes in this novel than the reader was given. It could have easily taken place at any time, even now, with poor cell reception justifying no cell phones. 

I do recommend this in print, as the time and perspective jumps would be difficult to keep track of on audio. 

All in all, given the wide range of themes this novel tackles, its great characters and their development, and the structure, I do give it 5 stars. I have some minor quibbles (not all characters are as interesting and some are held at arm's length from the reader), but on the whole it's a fantastic work of literature.
