Everybody knows everybody in The Hollows, a quaint, charming town outside of New York City. It??s a place where neighbors keep an eye on one another??s kids, where people say hello in the grocery store, and where high school cliques and antics are never quite forgotten. As a child, Maggie found living under the microscope of small-town life stifling. But as a wife and mother, she has happily returned to The Hollows??s insular embrace. As a psychologist, her knowledge of family histories provides powerful insights into her patients?? lives. So when the girlfriend of her teenage son, Rick, disappears, Maggie??s intuitive gift proves useful to the case??and also dangerous. 

Eerie parallels soon emerge between Charlene??s disappearance and the abduction of another local girl that shook the community years ago when Maggie was a teenager. The investigation has her husband, Jones, the lead detective on the case, acting strangely. Rick, already a brooding teenager, becomes even more withdrawn. In a town where the past is always present, nobody is above suspicion, not even a son in the eyes of his father.  

As she tries to reassure him that Rick embodies his father in all of the important ways, Maggie realizes this might be exactly what Jones fears most. Determined to uncover the truth, Maggie pursues her own leads into Charlene??s disappearance and exposes a long-buried town secret??one that could… (más)

Hmm. Back in February I gave this four stars but didn't write a review. It's only July and I can't remember one damn thing about this book, so I am deducting a star. It doesn't belong so high on my list if it made such a fleeting impression!

I thought this was a decent read - interesting but inconsistent. Someone said they found it meandering and I have to agree. There were tense moments and then long, slow moving scenes between. I think it would have been tighter with better editing - a pet peeve of mine. This was the second book by this author that I have read and I enjoyed the other book much more so I will still look for more by her. ( )

You have a small town, Maggie, a psychologist and wife to the police detective. Their classmates in high school all with their untold secret related to a missing teen. Now as adults, another missing teen and another generation. I can't say the story held my interest. I can say the prologue was intriguing. ( )

First in a series. I listened to this book. There are flashback scenes and they could have been a bit more delineated but otherwise a good book. ( )

Unger's taut and edgy tale stealthily plumbs the depths of desperation that grow more dangerous with the passage of time.

For my parents,

Joe and Virgina Miscione

We never understand what it means to be a parent

until we are parents outselves.

I love you, Mom and Dad.

Thanks for everything . . . then and now.

Prologue: When Jones Cooper was younger, he didn't believe in mistakes.
The sound of the screen door slamming never failed to cause a happy lift in her heart that was immediately followed by a sinking, the opening of a small empty place.
