It doesn't quite fit the criteria for a thriller that isn't a mystery, but it's close. It's rare that I rate a thriller with five stars on Goodreads, but this one fit the bill. This book reads as a mystery, and though it's not hard to figure out from the beginning, I was completely hooked and needed to know how the story played out. Poppy bears an eerie resemblance to Ellie, and soon Laurel is wondering if the connections between them are more than just coincidence. Things start to look up when she meets Floyd and quickly falls into a relationship-falling under his nine-year-old daughter Poppy's spell as much as his. Ten years later, divorced and disconnected from her other children, Laurel is still struggling to accept that Ellie is not coming back. The police suspect she ran away, but her mother Laurel refuses to believe it. At fifteen, beautiful, smart, and full of life and potential, she disappeared without a trace. Ellie Mack has been missing for ten years.
