Remember: The wolf is always at the door.
I couldn't possibly explain why I enjoyed this book. Frankly, it's horrible. In fact, if you have young children or any children that you can't let leave through the door without a worry then don't read this.
Seriously. Don't. This book is what parents' nightmares are made of.
This book is more than a simple missing child story; it is a very intense psychological exploration. It is gritty and dreadful, but yet, it leaves you optimistic. I got a lot more than I expected going into it. There are many angles explored here and the characterizations, the empathy evoked was startling. Strangely, after all the horror, it manages to come full circle.
