Something Bad Wrong by Eryk Pruitt
3.0
Kind of unsatisfying. Like a sneeze that’s stuck in your head. Interesting enough premise, but the reveals weren’t revealing and the resolutions weren’t resolving.
Jess is researching an unsolved double murder that occurred 50 years prior, involving a young couple. Her grandfather was lead in the original investigation as one of Red’s “seven,” seven sheriff deputies that kept law and order in the county. The case consumes Jess’s grandfather and threatens to also be the undoing of Jess.
Why was the case never solved? Why will nobody from the past talk to Jess about the investigation? Why does Jess’ mother refuse to share any information about her father (Jess’s grandpa)? Can Jess make sense of her grandfather’s case notes to understand both the crime and the man investigating it?
