This book was profound in so many ways that I'm sure that I will be able to do it justice. First the crime to be investigated is the murder and attempted murder of a family - father and 2 small children are dead and the mother is in serious condition. The location is a development that was many years before a vacation area that Mick Kennedy, the homicide detective, and his family used to frequent until his own mother disappeared (committed suicide?). So the parallels of a broken families run through out.
The writing and mystery is extremely skillful in carrying the reader through not just the victims impacted but also keeping Kennedy's feeling woven through as well. I will admit that at times it is difficult to follow the trail that is blazed, but it was definitely worth the journey.
