I actually think this book is a great depiction of the reality of today’s opioid crisis. The plot had enough twists to keep me entertained and enough resolution by the time it ended, so I liked it quite a bit.

A truly excellent mystery.  If you like Tana French books, I think you'd like this one.

A gut punch. Beautifully written, well-drawn characters, really (surprisingly) readable, but, man, does it leave you grieving. I think pitches of it as a thriller -- or, worse, a procedural -- ultimately do the novel a disservice; I found it to be a thoughtful investigation of and tribute, even, to a community that so many others have deemed broken.

Fans of Mare of Easttown (me) will definitely enjoy it.
