This book was amazing! I loved Terri Parlato's debut All the Dark Places, and this one was equally as great! 
Everything that I loved about All the Dark Places, I loved about What Waits in the Woods: Detective Rita, all the red herrings, great character development, twists that make sense... Terri Parlato is a mystery/thriller writing genius!
Being kept guessing is what makes stories like this stand out to me. We were taken in so many different directions, but evey direction had a purpose with the plot. The ending 🤯
If you're looking for fresh detective stories, Parlato's books are a great place to start!
