What a FANTASTIC book!!! This is a brilliant start to a suspense/thriller/mystery, that has twists and turns that will throw you for a loop!!

These are some of the most interesting characters!! They are so real and quirky and sarcastic and witty!! But there is darkness too. I’m so invested in these characters, and I need book two YESTERDAY!!

I can’t say enough about this cleverly written story and its residents of Grady Lake!! Highly recommended to everyone!!!

I finished this book in a weekend because I couldn’t put it down. A great story with just the right amount of details to keep you wanting to read more. I loved the banter between the characters. I immediately bought the 2nd and 3rd book and cannot wait to keep the series going.

Another amazing read! I don’t think I have laughed this much in a mystery thriller. Absolutely loved the banter between all the characters and can’t wait for the next book!

i was not expecting to like this book as much as i did. easy read that draws you in! the ending left me wanting more and more. hopefully book #2 answers my questions

couldn’t help but laugh every time she referred to lansing being a big city
