January Jacobs is murdered after going missing from her home in Wakarusa, Indiana in 1994. After 25 years, the case is still unsolved. Reporter Margot Davies moves back to Wakarusa to help care for her Uncle Luke. When she arrives in Indiana, Margot learns of another young girl, Natalie Clark, who has gone missing. The residents of Wakarusa, and Margot, are convinced that these two cases are linked. Can Margot prove that the same perpetrator was responsible for both January’s murder and Natalie’s disappearance, or will she lose everything along the way?
What an incredible debut from Ashley Flowers! If you love thrillers, podcasts, and true crime, you’ll enjoy this book. It’s incredibly fast paced, and you really aren’t sure who you can trust as you are reading. I loved the small town gossip that helped Margot along her way, and I love all of the connections that pulled the story together. Such a great read!
