An interesting read, but I wouldn’t consider it a mystery novel. That said, it is up for an Edgar Award this year in the First Novel category. More review to come.
The book dropped a star for the last chapters. First because the ending is cheesy and American, even if it is creative and touching. Second, because this cool collection of short stories highlighting the foibles and complications of so many of the townspeople which are tied together by the mystery of Daisy's disappearance come to nothing. There is no sudden ah-ha! moment of clues coming together or profound links between the stories, there is just a lot of messed up people living in a tiny town that gets hit by a destructive tornado in the end, and people keep in living. The build-up of a great story plateaus too early and without a climax.
Not horrible, but not up to its potential.… (meer)

Daisy’s disappearance is big news in her small town and as each person that knew her shares their narrative of what they thought happened; what unfolds is a beautiful, raw and hopeful portrait of a town and its people searching for atonement amid the bitterness of loss.
A hauntingly dark and powerful debut.

AST chapter was especially sweet, though some may think it too much
