48 Clues into the Disappearance of My Sister by Joyce Carol Oates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was unlike other books I have read. I loved that there were clues and the reader was made to come to their own conclusions. This could be frustrating to some and fascinating to others. I was so intrigued. It was a fun read for that reason. I loved feeling like I was responsible for the answers to the mystery! A great read and a book that would be perfect for book clubs!
