This book/author came recommended by Adrienne Young as a great example of voice & timeline/POV jump “rule breaking” used effectively to paint a great mystery. Very much enjoyed this riveting tale with plentiful twists and suspicions thrown on several characters before the real criminals (past and present) are revealed.

Content warnings: parental abuse, gun violence, murder/death (including of a child), implied/perceived suicides
