While investigating the family annihilation and disappearance of Roxy in their individual fashions, Dane and Warren bounce off each other, too similar in some respects and in complete opposition in others. They're great characters, each a vibrant, complicated woman who isn't prepared to back down but who both want to work this case with intelligence, resolve, and passion.

It's this that gives them the connection they need to make it work, despite having obvious reservations Roxy has a much more vulnerable and tortured voice, told through a personal narrative writing assignment set by the school, she's had it hard, and is still so young that you feel her pain acutely, even as you're aware that it might have taken her to a dark place. Cleverly plotted, with the kind of high-energy uncertainly that keeps you turning pages beyond the time for lights out, this was a thrilling read.

I hadn't read any DD Warren books before this one and didn't suffer for it, but i'll be looking into the previous instalments as I enjoyed the characters so much. I certainly hope we see more of Flora and her band of survivors in the future-their own series maybe?? View all 8 comments.

And, the book never got boring. I found both Detective D. Warren and vigilante Flora Dane to be interesting characters in their own ways, and I loved to follow the investigations from their different perspectives. I need to get to the past books in the series, both because I want to know more about D. D's past, but also get Flora's story. The story is very tragic, and towards the last pages of the book did I start to suspect the killer's identity and yeah I was right about it. But, it didn't bother me, it was more a feeling of almost dread when I started to suspect the truth. It's a book about consequences and thinking back to what started it all, how people's decisions in the end led to the killing of almost a whole family is heartbreaking.

Thankfully is there some really sweet moments in the book as well with D. D's son getting a puppy.

So much so it has inspired me to read the other books in this series. I liked the writing, and liked the depth that the author put into the characters in this book.

She knew it would be one the force found hard — when kids were involved it always was.

Four hundred and seventy two days had taught her that.

Now Flora helped others to survive and to find justice. DD was reluctant but knew Flora had the smarts — could the two of them find the missing teen? Could they discover what had happened in a case more confusing and clueless than DD had seen for a long time?
