Unspeakable Things

This book was unputdownable. Is that even a word? Told from 13 year old Cassie's perspective in 1983, her narration of that bygone era is pitch perfect. The characters all have surprising depth and the mystery in the story is truly creepy. No wonder this book has sold millions of copies. It is that good. Highly recommend.

This is a brilliantly written story about disturbing things happening in a small town in Minnesota, seen though the eyes of 12 year old Cassie. If you are looking for a formulaic crime novel like The Boy Next Door, The Girl In The Kitchen, The Grandma In The Attic then this is not for you, It's better than that.

There is an extra chapter that ties everything up available on the author's website. http://jessicalourey.com/survey-two

I struggled figuring out how to rate this book because parts of it I LOVED but then it ended and I struggled. It ends abruptly.. but the author does have a version of the epilogue on her website. She chose to leave it out of the book so readers could form their own ended.

Overall very very good!
