Anna Flores was barely a teenager when her beloved sister, Gabriella, disappeared. Though she's never stopped missing her sister, she dealt with the pain by fleeing abroad the first chance she got. Upon her mother's death, thirty years later, Anna has to return to the village of her childhood and confront her pain once again.
Despite extensive investigations, no one ever found out what really happened to Gabriella, whether she was murdered or ran away from home. The book alternates between Anna's present situation, dealing with her mother's death and everything that goes with it, to her childhood and the months leading up to her disappearance.
This is a very well-written thriller/mystery, set in a close-knit village which makes the mystery even harder to break. Almost anyone in the village could be a suspect, and Anna leaves no stone left unturned, until she has to.
In case you're wondering, yes, Anna does eventually find out what happened to her sister, but she also finds out more than she bargained for along the way - painful family secrets that, had she known when she was younger, she would not have felt as much of an outsider from her own loved ones.
If you are a fan of thrillers and mysteries, then this is simply a must-read for you.
