Alice Fine was kidnapped when she was a child. But against all odds, her police officer father was able to find her and bring her home, she was the "lucky one." But Alice has never forgotten what happened to her. She spends her free time volunteering for a website called The Doe Pages in the hopes of finding other missing people.
When a familiar face shows up on her screen, Alice is stunned to realize that it is the same man who kidnapped her decades earlier. The post disappears as quickly as it appeared. She enlists help from her Doe friends—Alice must find her kidnapper before he strikes again. This is where she crosses paths with Merrily Cruz, who has been searching for her quasi-stepfather who has been reported missing.
The women's lives collide and secrets that have been buried for decades come to life.
Told from Alice and Merrily's perspectives, Rader-Day's latest is an incredibly slow burn. Unfortunately, this novel just didn't work for me. The first few chapters were all over the place. It was also too long with the plot bottoming out somewhere in the middle.
What I did like was that the women were not typical leading ladies with Rader-Day incorporating a (dare I say) more mature character. There were some interesting twists at the end, but I'm not sure that they were worth the investment.
