I liked this book quite a bit BUT it is a far better character study than mystery. I feel like setting appropriate expectations for anyone who might be interested in picking it up is key to one's potential future enjoyment. If what you're looking for is a thriller, beach read or juicy mystery, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a rumination on small town relationships and how the opioid epidemic has impacted tight knit communities, this one is for you.
