This was such a fantastic mystery!!!!I swear from the 1% starting point to about the 50% point in this story, my husband and I were completely baffled and throwing out theories every chance we could on the mysterious disappearance of this family.You do find out what is really going on by the 50% portion of the story. And, I have to say we were feeling a bit desolate when we found out what was happening only because the mystery of who, of what, of where, of how the disappearances and everything and everyone involved had so many different, possible outcomes it was a bit of a let down to find out what was happening 50% into the story.With that being said, there are still little mysteries surrounding the family and people in their lives, as well as the little mystery surrounding the main detective brother which was able to keep our attention and kept our interest in the story peaked.********************************* BIT OF A SPOILER ALERT ***********************************I did have two WTF moments that the hubby didn't see an issue with or even care about.lol.My first WTF moment:If a person is being investigated for a (potential) murder (even if not the main reason police has been brought in), why in God's name would you, (as a detective) during the investigation of this scenario, give the (potential) murderer the name of the person that has information that could prove the (potential) murderer is lying?!This isn't a trial, but an investigation!  Of a (potential) murderer!  Detectives should be smart enough to know, not only could a witness be paid off, but they may have placed that witness in danger!My second WTF moment:Detectives did not have sketch artists get with the husband, the neighbors, or co-workers!!  Sketch artists have been around before cameras were even invented.  You don't need an actual photo from a camera to get an image of someone!  These detectives aren't even rookies!************************************ END OF SPOILER ALERT *****************************So moving on, this was a terrific read!  Even with my WTF moments, I loved this story.  I haven't felt this baffled and fascinated with a mystery in some time so this was a great find.The only question to solve now is, which to read next from this author; Only the Innocent or The Back Road?  Hmmm???
