Book 34 The Search Party by Hannah Richell

 I just finished The Search Party by Hannah Richell and I give it 🌃🌃🌃🌃.

I'm a sucker for twisty domestic thrillers when everyone has SECRETS SECRETS SECRETS and this one totally fits that bill. Four families go 'glamping' at a resort called Wildernest (eye roll) that is owned by one of the couples (it's sort of the shake down cruise for Wildernest). During the course of the long weekend, one of the children goes missing which sets off a search (hence the title) as well as the discovery of lots and lots of secrets (who had an affair, who was the father of a baby, who owes who money, who is a reality star a-hole, etc). There are just a ton of secrets that come to light in this book. It moves in a non-linear fashion between 'Sunday' (when things are slowly resolving) and Friday and Saturday (when all the bad things happen) and of course you think you know who is being 'talked about' in the Sunday chapters but in reality there are TWISTS GALORE! Only four stars though because there are just too many characters to keep track of---four couples (eight adults), eight children, local people, etc. Some of the 'secrets' were not really helping to move the story along and didn't get resolved. But if you like a nice twisty story--this is fine. Richell is no Ruth Ware but as far as these go, it's pretty good.
