As did one other reviewer, I wondered why this particular cover was chosen for this book. The story involves a family on vacation at and Italian campground, where the son is with another you g boy who turns up dead.  How did the boy die? Who is responsible? The son has difficulty with all this and, to make matters worse, won’t talk to the police about what happened.  When I first looked at the book, I thought it would involve some young woman, but the story did not.  Thus, why this particular cover for this book?  Just doesn’t fit.  The story is well executed, as we are taken right into the trauma this boy’s death causes the vacationing family, especially the son who witnessed it. This is story about the crisis the vacationing Kolwijns family is thrust into by this act. The crisis is handled and described quite well by the author, making this a satisfying and enthralling story. I enjoyed the way the author brought everything and everyone to life, making the reader part of this family’s crisis, with all the good and bad aspects. I have read other of the author’s books, and this one ranks right up there along the others.  I think anyone who enjoys a good heartwarming mystery and story about one family’s struggles to get through the crisis will enjoy the story.  I received this from NetGalley to read and review.
