 Even though this is a fictional crime, Ashley Flowers’ respect for victims of crimes is seen throughout by humanizing her characters. The ending left me begging for a sequel though!

This was essentially self insert JonBenét Ramsey fanfiction, which, as a girlie who loves fanfiction, was extremely off putting. Strangely, I found the end/epilogue the most interesting bit bc it was the only bit that felt like the author didn’t lift it directly from another true crime case. I probably would have DNFed if I wasn’t reading this for a book club.

The first half of the story I really enjoyed, the second half is where the book basically fell apart for me. Overall while the second half fell short I do hope the author writes more books because I did enjoy her writing. I don’t want to put to many details that could possibly spoil the book but if you like True Crime podcasts and the such I think this book would be right up your alley.

I loved the book and definitely points where I could not put it down. It is a POV book with the characters set in different years but there is crossover on characters between the 2 POVs. If you don’t listen to her podcast Crime Junkies the ending is a bit of a cliff hanger but they say a line similar in a lot of their episodes so it made sense to me and I was ok with it.
