With three weeks to go before its release, more early reviews are popping up in magazines and on Goodreads. The book contains some answers and some new clues not yet discussed on this blog, as well as a secret epilogue not given to reviewers. It will stand as the definitive book on Maura Murray's case.

The latest Goodreads review sums it up nicely:
Throughout the course of this book, James Renner will investigate crime, get himself incarcerated, be verbally and physically abused, follow false leads, learn that he scored "very similar to" Ted Bundy on his psychopathy test, spend the night in a room full of teddy bears, find a chilling surprise in a dirty magazine, drink and drive to put himself in the shoes of a missing woman, get into cars with strangers, take the advice of a psychic, explore his own family's legacy of violence, be internet-stalked and threatened by a creepy dude making targeted videos straight out of a low-budget slasher film, witness his autistic son predict the future with chilling accuracy, discover a modern-day underground railroad, and casually, but earnestly, drop in some theoretical physics bombshell about how there's a fairly good chance that the entire universe as we experience it is just a computer simulation in which it's possible to trigger glitches in reality.
