*Thank you, Libro.fm, for the audiobook copy!*
Hemlock is a thriller story about Maggie, a woman who is moving back to her hometown after years of being away, having vowed she would never come back. But Meyers has called her back, and living so close to the two men who broke her heart all those years ago has Maggie caught up in the past. Not only that, the skeletons of the house have come out to play, and Maggie must uncover secrets from years past that will help her move forward for the future.
I really enjoyed this audiobook! There was the right amount of shrouded mystery around some of the past events up until the end that even though I thought I knew what happened, I wasn't completely correct. I always love a twist I didn't fully see coming! The characters were pretty likable - Tucker was my favorite even though there were some unanswered questions about him throughout the story. I also really enjoyed the back and forth of the chapters leading up to the important events that made Maggie leave Meyers in the first place, and that we didn't really know what the tragedy was that happened in the past that led Maggie to leave.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers with kind of a slow build and alternating timelines.
