This wasn't particularly a page-turner - not that it was meant to be - but it took a while to get through. The change in time and character threw me at times, especially when it came to the daughters, but the resolution was interesting and believable. I liked the premise, especially that it was based on an actual person, and the exploration of the effects one missing man could have on the different women in his life. 
 Does Lippman include an exceptional amount of local detail, or do I just notice it more because I'm familiar with Baltimore? I never can tell.
