Okay I have THOUGHTS. First I found the setting of this book laughable as someone who grew up in PWC. Nothing about the setting was accurate and made many parts of this book unbelievable. I think the author must have just looked up “lakes in VA close to DC” and picked one without doing much other research. 

Speaking of research that wasn’t done, I think this author hasn’t done much research into the criminal justice system because there is SO MUCH that happens that is just downright idiotic that it’s hard to keep up with. 

The characters were so dramatic for no reason as well? I’m not sure if it was just the audiobook narrators’ who captured the book this way or if it was actually written this way. It was so overdramatized though that it was laughable at points. 

This all being said though the book did keep my attention so I guess that’s a win? This book is probably a low three but it’s so low I feel like I can’t actually give it 3 stars.
