52 Books in a year - Week Nine - The Weight of Silence

This book was our book club pick for the month of July – a simple read with quick chapters and story told from everybody’s point of view. The story surrounds the disappearance of two girls from their bedrooms early one morning. While the story was a decent read, not the page turner I was looking for. The story was very simplistic and lacked the depth needed for a thought-provoking read. The story become very predictable very early on, while the attempts at providing twists and turns did not give enough depth to be believable. I felt like the author didn’t go far enough into the research, leaving much of the story very unbelievable. A little research into the topics at hand would have went a long way for the author. Clearly a debut novel on her part.
