Scrappymags 2-word review: Psychological sensation!

My thoughts: I love twists and turns. I love multi-POV storytelling, and I love a creep factor. ✅✅✅ So yes, I loved this book. I appreciate mysteries where I don’t fully see what’s coming and even when I do sleuth it out, I’m still flipping each page with a “No friggin’ way!” uttered at each turn. That was this book for me. I stayed up late and the book stayed with me. One of those books I dare not delve into detail lest I spoil the awesomeness.

Genre: Mystery/Psychological Thriller

Shortest summary ever: Sadie and Will have just moved to Maine from Chicago (I mean, Maine… c’mon… creepiest state setting EVER!), after the death of Will’s sister and now (surprise) they are parenting a 16 yr old niece who has hidden secrets. So does their own son, and that’s part of the reason they moved. But (oh no!) a neighbor is murdered and questions are flying everywhere and fingers start to be pointed in many directions. Sadie decides to dig in herself, but perhaps she’s dug up TOO much?

Recommend to: contemporary, mystery, thriller. Psychological gripper fans

Not recommended to: cozy mystery folks… you’ll find it too gritty.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin and Mary Kubica for an advanced copy. Happy to provide my honest review. Now I need to avoid my neighbors… 😂
