Not a fan. Too many unimportant details. The story was confusing to follow - maybe it would have helped to read the first book? Also, most of the characters are unlikable.

nicolesorial's review against another edition

4.0

Bounced between 3.75 and 4 but decided on 4 because at the end of the day, I would still recommend this as a mystery/thriller. 

Without too many spoilies, this book bounces between two timelines: a US Marshal investigating a decades-old cold case, and the cold case itself. It’s got cults and politics and lots of other interesting things that make it quirky. The misogyny and general horrendousness of most of the characters is a lot to get through, but the story was complex in all the right ways. I do feel a little dissatisfied by certain small plot points, but not enough to let it bother me. 

Definitely check out TWs before reading.
