This is my first Megan Miranda book, and I loved it. Not the typical fast-paced thriller or crime novel that I often read, it reminded me of Barbara Erskine’s writing, with the use of nature writing and descriptions of place and time. It kept me hooked though, with just enough mystery and tension, and most of the reveals and twists were not ones I saw coming. I can’t wait to read more by the author. The only thing it lacked, which may be due to the setting, was some diversity in the characters.
