The Weight of Silence

I started this a few days ago and I find myself not being able to put it down. This novel has many different perspectives. Each chapter is someone different. The book centers on Calli. Calli has selective mutism, that was brought on by a tragedy when she was toddler. She has gone missing along with her best friend Petra. I enjoy the different perspectives. It has her mother, Antonia, her brother, Ben, Petra's father, Martin, and Deputy Louis, her mother's high school sweetheart, and Petra. There are also chapter's on Calli but those are all told in third person. I love knowing how each character is reacting to what is happening in the story line and how it effects them and what they think or feel about it. I'm about half way or so through the book. I should be finished in a day or two.
