This is an incredible book told through two time frames- the present and the time before the main character,Lucy, is born. It starts out with a brief description of the major characters involved, culminating into the horrifying death of Lucy's friend. Upset that no one appears to care about her friend's demise other than herself, she decides to investigate her friend's murder. As she searches for clues, she realizes that her friend's death appear to be connected to her mother's mysterious disappearance several years ago. The story is voiced out by different characters, making the reader learn more about their backgrounds and slowly explaining why events have happened in the first place. Very well written.
