Let me say first off, that the book is well written, well crafted, and just plain good. I bumped up against the ads for it on The New Yorker website, then on Amazon, and as always, am looking for a good, well written suspense/thriller/mystery type read. ( I don't think there are enough of them being spun out!) The hook had me, What The **** Happened to Ellie? The writing lures you in.......the whole family saga thing, dysfunction, loss, grief, etc. What I really want to say is, like my headline, caution. This is a very, very disturbing book. The central characters emerge slowly and if you are like me, I'm reading along wanting to find out wtf happened to Ellie? And unlike many readers, I don't try to figger out what happened, who dunnit...... what you find out about Ellie and the other characters in the book is scary stuff. So, what I'm saying is, if you are a sensitive soul who is is averse to childhood abuse/torture and highly damaged manipulative people, I'd suggest not reading this.
I gave it 5 stars for the craft of writing, it is well written, and the writing supports the the plot and story, in spite of what i've said re: caveat emptor.

Not your typical domestic thriller - loved it
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2018
This book was different. This was not your typical “domestic thriller.” It reminded me of how thankful and lucky I am for having the family that I do (not that I take them for granted). Every single page came alive in its own way. I was so excited and hopeful and angry. Man, was I angry. Then I was worried. Then I was upset again. Then I cried. I was just moved. Any book that does that is a 5 🌟 read for me.
