Everybody Knows by Jordan Harper
4.0
dark

Overall this was a solid story with good stakes. I would say the first half is more of a mystery and the second half is more crime thriller. I enjoyed that all the characters were morally grey so it isn’t as much of rooting for the characters to succeed, but more the larger revenge story and wanting the big bad to go down! 

I thought the characters all had interesting depth to them (even if it didn’t make them “good guys”). One thing I appreciated was that the violence didn’t seem gratuitous and served a purpose in the book. The book is definitely DARK but it doesn’t play for shock value.
