I think this book would be good to read, the author grabs your attention within the first few sentences, it keeps making you ask what happened? How did it happen? Will you find them? Makes you also think about people in todays lives who just "upsticks and leaves " what makes them do it? Why? The author is very descriptive too which also grabbed ky my attention, building the scene in your mind as you read. I love stories that do that!
