After the death of her mother, Rachel Childs searches for her father who left their home abruptly when she was a young child. Already confused with her life, Rachel is sent to report a story on the Haitian earthquake and, amid the tragic events there, has a breakdown. But the mysteries keep piling up and nothing in the truth is what Rachel wants to hear.
There are a lot of unexpected twists and turns in the story that keep the reader hooked. The only part that I found a little frustrating was the ending. While the reader can surmise how the story turned out for Rachel, I would have liked the ending to be when she was in a safe place, not while her future was still precarious.
Note: Dennis Lehane has many TV miniseries and movie credits, including Bloodline, Gone Baby Gone, and Castle.
