This would have been a near 5 star for me but the ending?! wtf???? zero closure!

otherwise an excellent read, I devoured this in 3 days. some of the red herrings are obvious in the writing but that I can forgive. The ending I cannot.

Margot, a crime reporter, returns to her small home town to care for her sick uncle and to look into the 20 year old case of her childhood friend's death. 

This book flips between 2 timelines. The past when January is killed and the present when Margot come back to town. Everyone is a suspect and you never really know who to believe. Was it the brother? The mother? A random man?

This was an interesting take on a cold case story, but read very much like JonBenet Ramsey's case.
  
It had some good twists and turns, but that ending was such a bummer. So anti-climatic. It was a non-ending. I thought I was missing a chapter.

ending  felt like too many twists that didn’t all add up or feel complete. Ending was too graphic for me. No loveable characters

So many plot twists, every time I thought I had it figured out,  I was wrong lol
It's well written... this would have got 5 stars,  but leaving it open ended bothers me.  I really hope there's a sequel!
