SO GOOD! Howard has a masterful way of writing a thrilling mystery that I couldn't put down. This book was amazing, including a strong female lead with complex emotions and great instincts, a killer that leaves you with mixed feelings, and the potential for healing at the end. The twists and turns were amazing too, bouncing back and forth between Alison now, helping the Garda solve the case, and Alison then, trying to wrestle with being a college kid and then dealing with the aftermath of the Canal Killer case. Howard reveals everything slowly, but at a pace that makes perfect sense and just leaves you wanting more. The ending was so well-done, keeping me on my toes and then making me gasp in shock at the last scene. Amazing! 5/5 stars! I'll definitely be reading more of her work as soon as I can!!

Called it but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. My track record with this author is mixed but this was a win.

This one took me a bit to get into, but once I did, I couldn’t put it down! Just when I thought I had it figured out, a twist came in and I was thrown again. Such a great read with an end I didn’t see coming!

Solid 3. Almmmmmmmmmost a 4. The ending was okay but had so much potential for a bigger twist. I flew through it dying to know who was really the canal killer.

well, this one definitely grew on me as i went! it's not what i was expecting going in, and i don't think i ever really warmed to the main character, but i resonated with the anguish of things you say and do when you're young being forever preserved because of a single instant, and it was fun figuring out the mystery - which i did manage to do successfully, but the presentation was so good that i felt rewarded by the realization at the end rather than bored. i really enjoy the depth howard brings to her thrillers, and will definitely read more!
