I think Jewell is a master at weaving together narratives that explores the same ideas through the lens of different characters. ![]() Instead of just having her there as a prop to solve the mystery, Jewell gave her a lovely arc about a relationship that might not work in a new place and it beautifully reflected the themes in one of the other timelines. I loved the mother’s belief in her daughter and I also loved the mystery writer. ![]() All three timelines were equally interesting to me, although it was harder to sympathize with some of the characters in the story leading up to the disappearances. ![]()
