Another book set in Iowa! This one takes place in the fictional Willow Creek, Iowa. It's located near a forest - do we have a forest in Iowa??? That aside, it was a great book. It seems that every night on the news is a story about another manhunt for missing children. This is about that topic - but with enough twists to keep me turning the pages. Missing are two best friends. Calli is 7 years old and hasn't spoken a word in three years after witnessing a disturbing event. One morning her drunken father, Griff, is up early to go fishing with his friend. Instead he comes across Calli and decides to take her into the forest. He sends his friend on his way and leaves no note for Calli's mom. The same early morning Calli's best friend Petra also goes missing. There are many side- stories going on at the same time. (Calli's mom and the sheriff used to be in love.)
I thought it was great for a debut novel - and I look forward to many others.
