Sinossi
Una quieta cittadina americana. È l'ora della ricreazione alla Woodside Elementary School. Adam, un bambino autistico di nove anni e la compagna di classe Amelia svaniscono nel nulla. Scatta l'allarme, partono le ricerche. Adam viene ritrovato alcune ore dopo nel bosco ai margini della scuola. Accanto a lui il cadavere della piccola Amelia, uccisa con una coltellata al cuore. Per la polizia la testimonianza del bambino è fondamentale, ma Adam non riesce a dire che cosa abbia visto o sentito. Si è chiuso in un silenzio invalicabile, un silenzio che anche la madre, Cara, non riesce a spezzare. Non resta che cercare di leggere dietro quegli occhi spaventati, decifrare qualsiasi segnale, capire perché Adam, che di solito non infrange mai le regole, si sia allontanato dalla scuola. Un aiuto inaspettato arriva da Morgan, adolescente con lievi deficit mentali, che sembra aver trovato un canale di comunicazione con il bambino. Ma mentre sospetti e indizi si rincorrono, la violenza erompe di nuovo...

This book was amazing, the very description of a thriller. Little clues were in the entire body of the book, and putting them together on the journey through the book was simultaneously exhilarating and chilling. The characters felt incredibly real and the revelation on the last page was genuinely s Leggi tutto
I had a real problem with the storyline of Kevin and how it was resolved. With the intention to manipulate and hurt Cara, he actually forges a plan which involves lying about a relationship with her best friend, doesn't come forward about the murder of a little girl or the (utterly pointless) fact t Leggi tutto
I have no clue why I wasted my time and finished this book. It was all over the place and I was almost to the point where I don't even think the author knew who the killer was going to be until the last second. The book just did not fit for me. It was like a stew was mixed together and whatever was
