β’What did I think of this book? (Duo POV)
I loved this book. Rachel Krall is a podcaster who's traveled for a popular third season that deals in a small town. A popular Olympic swimmer is accused of raping the towns Cheif of Police's granddaughter. This small town is split in two over who to believe.Along the way Rachel receives letters of another unjust crime that happened 25 years before. As the court case comes to an end, more than one crime is solved. I would recommend this book! The second book, Dark Corners, is to be released in August, but is this months BoTM choice!

One of my late netgalley arcs, I decided to listen to via my library app.
This was riveting and harrowing read following a dual sexual assault case, one in the present day and one set in the mystery of a cover up that happened some years before.
We follow a podcast presenter investigating both cases and it was interesting to see the perspective of varying characters of what, to me, is an obviously awful crime.
The acts done to the body was so graphic and really hard to read, so please bear that in mind.
Overall, I'm glad to have finally read this, but it was a heavy, difficult read.
