This is giving Pretty Little Liars in the sense that a lot of things are going on that came out of nowhere and the ending is just... not it

I enjoyed the book and was surprised by the ending. Though I would have liked a more definitive ending, I liked being surprised by who the murderer was. I do wonder though

Spoiler

if Officer Wallace was a red herring or why she was in the book but not mentioned with the serial child murderer. Was it because of the time gap?

Overall it was a twisty thriller that I enjoyed, with just that one plot hole.

Started a little confusing due to the switching between characters and timelines each chapter, and also ended pretty abruptly. Still a great murder mystery with lots of twists and turns.

I love Crime Junkie and this book was on my radar even before I found the podcast. But making the connection bumped it to the top of my TBR. 
It was an easy read. It was simple but had twists I wasn't expecting. I thought I knew who did it from the beginning, but was proven wrong multiple times. 
Margot seems quite lost in life and there were some plot holes I didn't understand. Like what exactly happened with her parents? She didn't have friends?? I found Uncle Luke to be very loveable. 
Also, not important, but I totally picture Detective Townsend looking like Gibbs from NCIS lol
