Tracy's sister disappeared 20 years ago, and she has always been skeptical of the evidence produced that locked a man away. The body of her sister was found, and the evidence doesn't line up.
I loved the backwards approach to this mystery, searching for the truth after someone has already been convicted.
Spoilers
The ending was a big predictable as the narrative leaves little more possibilities open, and suddenly characters actions and behaviors seem to change. I am left a bit unsettled, especially since it seems to be a bit of a sunshine and rainbows ending when I feel like it would be out of Tracy's personality to just move on with a light heart after those 20 heavy years.

A great story with a twist
I definitely recommend this book. This is a new author for me and I've really enjoyed reading this book and I cannot wait to read the second book in the series.

Twenty years ago Sarah and Tracy Crosswhite entered a shooting competition. The sisters were very close and Sarah knew a secret that something good was going to happen to Tracy so she wanted her to have the perfect day. She intentionally lost the shooting competition to her sister.
Tracy leaves with her boyfriend for their special night, warning Sarah to make sure she took the main highway home.
Sarah never made it home again.
Sarah's disappearance destroyed Tracy's family and tore the small town apart. Tracy never got over the feelings of guilt that have haunted her since then. She gave up teaching and became a detective..always searching.
Sarah's body then turns up in a shallow grave, Tracy returns to the small town with the same unanswered questions. The man convicted of Sarah's murder (Edmund House) may have been framed for the crime. Tracy convinces her old friend Dan, who is now an attorney to start digging for answers about the trial.
Everyone in town tells Tracy to let sleeping demons lie but she needs to have the truth, even if it means another trial for House.
This is not a bad little thriller, the author does a really good job with character development in Sarah and Tracy's characters. I felt for Tracy's loss and I may have even shed one tear. Shut up and don't judge me.
There is some smoochy smoochy in the book but it didn't distract from the story at all.

Spotlighted on this book is my friend Zoeytron's review...she is such a fun reviewer and her shelf "new-fangled-e-reader" cracks me up every-time I see it. Because I mostly feel the same way about my kindle.

Ok I was really trying to finish 50 books this year and I did it bc I sat through this. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. It was kind of meh. I feel like sooo much was going on. It needed to be reeled in.
