This was one of those books that I listened to in the car on a long road trip. We like to listen to thrillers that keep our attention and entertain us as the road goes by. This was a good choice.
A young woman is studying to become a medical examiner. As a forensic scientist, she must do a thesis on the topic of her advisor’s choosing. Her advisor chooses genetics as her area of focus. Diving in to get started, she submits her DNA to an online ancestry tool and learns that she is the baby that disappeared almost thirty years ago to national attention. As she tries to delay the inevitable national attention that will again be coming her way, she works to unravel what happened to her and her birth parents all those years ago.
This is a rip roaring adventure tale with many plot turns and twists. There is a bit of explicitly described gore, but largely the story is suspense driven. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing was nothing special for me, but it was excellent in the sense that I didn’t notice it, I was so absorbed in the story.
My rating: 4/5
