This is a quietly disturbing and mysterious story told through the eyes of 13 year old Lizzie, whose best friend Evie disappears one day. Lizzie starts to play detective and thinks she has it figured out as far as who in the neighborhood is responsible for Evie’s disappearance. She starts dropping clues and hints for the police and Evie's father. But, then the story takes a bit of a psychological twist tackling issues of love, lust, and jealousy. This is a well-written novel and I enjoyed Abbott’s style. Although, after finishing, I found myself left with an abundance of questions.
