This was my first glimpse of Hilier who is a fantastic writer, so I'll definitely be reading more of her work. I will however be bracing myself.

- Georgina (Geo), Angela, & Kaiser are best friends in high school. When Geo starts dating an older guy named Calvin, the dynamics in the group change. One day, Angela disappears.
- After fourteen years, Geo is a successful executive at a pharmaceutical company & engaged to a rich dude. When Angela’s body is found, Geo is arrested on murder charges by Kaiser, who is now a detective.
- Geo ends up doing time in prison, and more murders start happening.
- What happened in the past & how is it connected to the present?
- Multiple POVs - Geo & Kaiser.
- Set in Seattle area.
- Different timelines - alternating between what happened in past versus present.
- Third Hillier book I’ve read, and she’s quickly become one of my favorite authors of the genre.
- Intense & hard to put down.
- Complex characters.
- Tough topics covered in book. Check trigger warnings.
- Well written. Easy to read & hard to put down.
