There is one portion of the book where there were too many extreme coincidences. There is a twist that I didn’t see coming which personally I loved (although I know some reviewers will be angry at this familiar trope). The book does really pick up during the last half. I even had to put it down, read a couple of other books, and come back to it. It took me several extra days to read this book, because I just could not get into it. The first 50-66% of the book is so, so, so slow. Well, this was my first Megan Miranda book, and I have a bit of a mixed reaction. What caused all of these disappearances? Does Abby know her fellow townspeople as well as she thinks she does? Then, Landon’s brother shows up, trying to find some answers as to what happened to Landon. A journalist, Landon West, appears at the inn, asking questions, digging around, until he too goes missing. Cutter’s Pass is haunted by a series of disappearances over the years.
