If this novel can stump me, it truly is a good who-done-it story. I too often predict endings, which make these sorts of books a little less enjoyable for me. However, you make it sound as though this one truly stumps the reader, so I'll have to give it a try. Thank you for the helpful review.

Though the premise seems familiar, people going missing and all that, I am interested in the treatment of story. Changing perspectives seems like a good trick and in the end it all comes down to how good the writer is. The complete rating has made me interested in this book. Thank you for the review.

The intrigue of mystery is well spelt out in this amazing mystical book. The author did an amazing job in character development and showed great creativity an prowess in mystical writing,. This book is one of the best mysteries I have read so far. Can't wait for more from the author.

The rotating perspectives has me interested. I'm also wondering if the other cases you've mentioned happen to the into each other at the end.

I am unsure what the author was thinking when they created the name "Dr. Pepper Hunt" but that aside, it has been awhile since I have read a really good mystery.

It looks like a page turner. I like the idea of first-person views from a psychologist. It must add an extra dimension. If this is as well written as you say, it's the perfect companion for a rainy day.

I'll have to read this book as it's everything I love in a whodunit (my favorite genre). Especially crime novels set in small towns really speak to me.

It seems Dr Pepper Hunt and detective Antelope have a lot on their plate in investigating the social ills affecting this neighborhood.
