Intricately woven and emotionally raw

such a basic life's tragedy superbly told. The story is beautiful in its simplistic foundation that tugs at your heart throughout its telling.

Trigger warning

This is a well told story but before you listen, just know there’s a tragedy surrounding a child. If that isn’t something you can listen to, I recommend you choose a different book!

Misleading Category Tags

I wouldn't consider this a suspenseful, psychological thriller. None of those feel truthful. Apart from the misleading tags, the story has moments of beauty in the wake of a tragedy. If the tags had been more accurate, I wouldn't have listened, though the narration is good. It was less about the actual loss and uncovering the truth than the gaslighting the father received for daring to want more answers. The narrative is from the POV of the grieving father, detailing his inner thoughts and witnessing his questionable choices, We are also provided relevant history prior to the current timeline, though it was wordy and generally too long for the length of the book. While not what I was looking for in my next read, the journey wasn't unpleasant and didn't leave loose ends.

Wonderful -Heartwreching

This was a great listen. A story about a father’s love for his child - that he will
not stop until Justice is done.

the only complaint I have is with the narrator not the story. he would speak so softly 1 minute and nearly blow out my ear drums the next.
