Never Smile at Strangers by Jennifer Jaynes
4.0
When a small town girl goes missing, the town thinks she’s run away. When another girl disappears, the town calls in the FBI. But what they dig up is more than anyone in rural Louisiana ever expected. Never Smile at Strangers by Jennifer Jaynes is a thriller, that keeps the reader hooked until the last page. Sometimes the people closest to you are the ones with the biggest secrets.
This book had me hooked. The alternating points of views gave the reader great insight into how each person could be a suspect, but also how they are also victims themselves. There are many hints dropped leading up to the finish, but I only predicted one detail. I was almost disappointed I suspected the wrong man as the murderer (and feel bad I suspected him, in the end. oops) I thoroughly enjoyed how it kept me captivated, and each character was deeply developed. By the end, the reader knows so much about every character, but without any info drops. There is a lot of alcohol, pornographic references, sexual abuse, mental illness, and straight evil intent in this book. Do not read before bedtime, or at least make sure you’ve locked your doors, and windows too.
