Liked the plot, but the themes and characters were under developed. I wish this book was written by a woman, the more sensitive topics felt oversimplified

 Synopsis:

●Dual Timelines
●Amateur sleuth
●Small town
●Healing Past Traumas

🛑Content Warning:
Mild Swearing
1 – 2 Fade to Black Scenes
Rape (Not Describe on Page)
Violence (Not Gore)

My Opinion:
I was in need of a thriller to change things up a bit and this was a sort of buddy read and trying to guess who the killer was it's exciting and fun.
The plot is very predictable and the writing wasn't that good and it shows that it was his debut novel, but it was a lot of fun and I couldn't stop reading until I got my answers. That's why I gave this rate.
If you want a nice thriller, this is a good choice.
