Told in alternating timelines, Emily Bleeker works the case
forward and also show glimpses of the past couple of months and what (might
have) led to the shooting. While it seems hard to find a domestic suspense
novel that’s told start to finish these days, it does work well in this
scenario once you get past the first few chapters. Bleeker gets your adrenaline
pumping with the first response scenes, but then lets you catch a breath and go
back to the family’s mostly jovial domestic life. It’s a little disconcerting
at first, but eventually the timelines meld and the pace picks up continuously.
A solid effort and worthy read.
