How It Happened by Michael Koryta

5.0

Loved this book. Set in a small Maine town with the first chapter opening with a murder "confession" from a drug addicted young woman. First time on a murder case the FBI agent in charge believes the story. And then the twists start. Who to believe? The bad guys lurk in the background and Koryta leads you along to the point you're thinking you could figure this out if you could only remember something to put it all together. Good guys with murderous thoughts, the horror for all of drug addiction and the casualness and ease on how it could happen, and the underlying truth that the world has some very bad people in it.
