As Annie's cousin marries into the family, Annie gets embroiled in tracking down one of the sibling's biological parents. What follows is a messed up mixed up hot mess. Old crimes and alliances come to light, someone dies, and Annie is being watched. The mood stays tense throughout a majority of the book, even within Annie's own relationships. Not difficult when most of the families involved have been in the same small town for generations. A good solid read with lots of characters to keep the story moving!

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.

This is a good thriller. Not great but good. 

Annie is a PI and her new case is to find a Clint’s biological family but what she doesn’t know if that there is more to the story. 

This is a good thriller. It has its fast paced moments but also slow moments that felt like they bragged on. 

Annie the MC had some great connections with the side’s characters. You could definitely feel the closeness all of them have with each other. 

I didn’t guess who the killer is maybe I’m just not a good detective 🤷🏼‍♀️ but it always leaves me mind blown 🤯.
