I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this one at first because it just reminded me so much of Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera that I read this summer that I couldn’t feel invested. But by the midway point I was hooked and all of the ridiculous small town drama sunk its claws into me. I had guessed a bunch of the major reveals but that didn’t hinder me from enjoying bingeing this fast-paced thriller. My only complaint is that I wish there had actually been podcast elements in this book, considering that one of the main characters is a podcaster!

Mystery thriller centred on returning home 20-something years after the fact. Plenty of decent tropes. Mixed bag of plot twists. Pacing was better from the second half of the book but overall fun read.

Some of the book is predictable but it’s still very well done. I enjoyed the ride it took me on.
