Want a book that's just like JonBenet case? Then read this.

This book was so long for no reason. The author tried to make every twist possible, which I should have known because I know how she does her podcast.

The only character I liked was Billy.
Go figure right?

I'll pass on Ashley Flowers books in the future.

Open ended ending for the sake of an open ended ending. I hate that shit.

WHAT THE HECK- I was hooked from page 1 and I loved every minute of this book I know people are mad at the end but I LOVED IT! That doesnt take away the fact this book was SO good! This definitely caught me by suprise and this could be a new favorite of the year! I will definitely read more from this author because if this is only her debut she will have a lot more amazing books

This book started off really strong for me. I love the crime junkie podcast and was really excited to see what kind of book Ashley was going to bring to life. I think if not for the ending I would have given this book 5 stars. The ending was too sudden and abrupt for my taste and left me feeling unsatisfied. I know a lot of stories end this way in the real world with people dying or going missing and no one catching who did it..but I was really hoping for a different outcome with this novel. I’m not a fan of unfinished endings and this is what I felt like when I closed the book. If you don’t mind endings that leave you with questions or guessing what happened then this is the book for you!

Suspenseful audiobook. There are a few twists and turns that keep it interesting.  But I did not live the ending. You're left hanging too much. It's easy to imagine a pretty horrible ending OR a hopeful one. The later seeming less probable.
