Oh wow, this book... I don't even know where to start except to say that I absolutely loved it!! I was hooked from the very first page and I could not put this down until I knew how it ended. I actually binge read the arc in 24 hours and now I'm waiting for the finished version to be published so I can read it all over again.

I read *a lot* of mystery books, and one of my favourite parts is trying to beat the characters to solving the mystery, but this book kept me guessing the whole time, and I think part of what fascinated me so much was not the question, 'Where is Henry Weaver?', but 'Why is Henry Weaver missing?'. The pacing in this book was beautifully done with just enough clues being slipped in to keep me guessing and keep the suspense up.
