4.0

This was such a gripping thriller and it had me hooked from the beginning! It’s pretty dark and graphic at times but great for true crime enthusiasts. I went back and forth about who the murderer was and can honestly say I was completely shocked when it was revealed. I do think it could have been a little shorter and it dragged on a little at times, but overall it felt pretty fast-paced. 

My second Charlie Donlea book didn’t disappoint and I’ll definitely be reading more books from this author!
