Isabelle Drake is living a nightmare—her baby son, Mason, was snatched from his crib a year ago, and the police investigation has hit a dead end. Desperate for answers, Isabelle turns to a true crime podcaster for help, hoping to uncover the truth behind Mason’s disappearance.

While the pacing of the story is deliberate and slow, I found myself immediately drawn in by Isabelle’s compelling voice. The narrative's structure and the atmospheric setting work effectively together to steadily build suspense throughout the book. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, the story surprised me with a twist I didn't see coming.

I would rate this book 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
