It didn’t follow the usual streamlined plot, especially since the detective had to cross boundaries no police should. Even better, just like in Wrong Place Wrong Time, each turned this story on its head, creating a constantly morphing storyline that was accompanied by ever rising levels of suspense.

While this might sound tedious, it was anything but, instead managing to keep my internal armchair sleuth entirely flummoxed throughout. And what if this case is connected to her past demons, the other missing women cases she still couldn't solve, all leading to her own destiny? She blames herself for being distracted when her daughter accidentally wounded a mugger, leading to his consequential death.
