Private investigator Mel swore she'd never track down Chloe, Mel's high school sweetheart, who's been missing for six years. On the night of Chloe's 16th birthday, the pair fought off local tough guy Toby, and buried him deep in the woods, though nobody else knows that Toby's even dead. Not long after their shared murder, Chloe disappeared too, leaving many in their small town heartbroken, especially Mel. But when Chloe's family hires Mel to track down their missing daughter, Mel can't turn down the case, and soon learns that there's much more to Chloe's life on the lam than previously thought.
Although I appreciated the lesbian couple at the center of this action-packed thriller, the plot takes so many nonsensical twists and turns that I had trouble keeping track of what was going on when (didn't help that the chapters bounced back and forth between current events and flashbacks). There are many better and more cohesive thrillers out there, and I'd recommend reading one of those instead.
