It is Parents’ Weekend at an expensive northern California college. Everyone is on edge because a student has been reported missing. Then five other students who knew the first one also go missing. As the reader learns about the parents of the five students, campus police and FBI Agent Sarah Keller, recently redeployed to this area, search frantically for them.
I have read and enjoyed a few of Alex Finlay’s books and this adds to his body of work.The story is told from multiple points of view, including that of the families of the missing students; they all have secrets they are hiding.It is another example of dysfunctional wealthy people behaving badly. While many of the players were dislikable in their own ways, I do like the FBI agent, Sarah Keller, who has appeared in other Finlay novels, and her family. She is a great character.
Along with the mystery and suspense, there are contemporary themes of the danger of social media and predatory behaviors. It makes for a fast paced, entertaining read.
Thanks to #NetGalley and @Stmartinspress @minotaur_books for the DRC.
