I'm a huge fan of Allison Brennan and I was very excited to read this new thriller.
A podcaster investigating a crime, member of a sorority that could hide secrets, a former marshal still grieving the murder of her son.
A small town, plenty of secrets and a lot of people who could be involved and guilty.
It was a gripping and riveting read, I was hooked since the first pages and couldn't stop reading till the last pages.
There's a lot of unexpected turns, a twisty and dark plot, a solution that was not a surprise but somehow surprised me.
It's an excellent thriller and I would be glad to read other stories featuring these characters.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A bit anxious going into this because the reviews were all over the place. But I enjoyed the audiobook of this so much. I felt that the past and present POVs were well explained, the mystery of whodunit was sustained, and there was a satisfying ending. The author is more than capable. I'd love to go through her backlog.
I do recommend this if you like mysteries and a dab of dark academia.

I’m loving the mysteries that surround a podcast! I feel like more and more books are going this route and it just adds some much to the books storyline!
Meet Lucas Vegas he decides that a podcast would make the perfect Senior Year Capstone project. The podcast subject, is the unsolved mystery of Senior student Candace Swain three years in the past. Her Murder happened right on the campus. The only person of interest in Candace’s murder was a homeless alcoholic man who hasn’t been seen since the body of Candace was found three years ago. Lucas hopes with the podcast new clues and people will come forward and he can break the case! Professor Henry Clarkson, Lucas' advisor suggests using former US Marshall Regan Merritt on the podcast he feels it will add more stability to it. Regan has moved back to flagstaff after the dead of her son and she’s going through a divorce, she’s looking for a fresh start. The cold case certainly has caught Regan's attention, and as she and Lucas work on the podcast and dig for new clues a killer lurks in the background, just waiting for the chance to kill again and stop them from solving the murder. I loved this book this wasn’t a quick who done it, the author did an amazing job twisting the mystery from past and present! Four stars!

This was fun. It reminded me a bit of “a good girl’s guide to murder” but college style. Definitely not as good, but fun nonetheless.

Enjoyable but there are lot of parts of that are kind of a stretch. Some parts are a little too long and overly complicated, which I think contribute to the plot holes. A few less characters and plotlines would have made the solution tighter and more realistic.
