Received an ARC of this one. It was a lot to take in, but I really enjoyed it.

Tara is a rookie cop who is assigned back to her old town, a place that holds lots of bad memories, including the death of her foster sister.

The day Tara arrives, a gruesome murder is discovered. The two suspects, sorority sisters from California, have taken off.

What seems like an open and shut case is not that. We switch between Tara’s present day and the sorority sisters’ points of view in the three months leading up to the murder.

My gosh, I loved this book. I found it really difficult to put down and devoured it in a day.

I often find myself skim reading books to get the answers to my questions more quickly, but there was no skim reading here. Every word, every sentence mattered and contributed to the mystery.

Reading the perspective of a female cop was so refreshing and insightful. I was rooting for Tara, and really appreciated her respect for the Indigenous community.

The ending caught me by surprise, and left me hoping this book turns into a series that follows Tara.

This was without a doubt a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. Now I need to read Cate Quinn’s other novels!

Thank you so much to Hachette Australia for my gift copy.

The characters and story were both frustrating and poorly executed. I found the references to sororities and the stereotypes annoying.
