otherwise an excellent read, I devoured this in 3 days. some of the red herrings are obvious in the writing but that I can forgive. The ending I cannot.

This book flips between 2 timelines. The past when January is killed and the present when Margot come back to town. Everyone is a suspect and you never really know who to believe. Was it the brother? The mother? A random man?
This was an interesting take on a cold case story, but read very much like JonBenet Ramsey's case.
It had some good twists and turns, but that ending was such a bummer. So anti-climatic. It was a non-ending. I thought I was missing a chapter.

It's well written... this would have got 5 stars, but leaving it open ended bothers me. I really hope there's a sequel!
