The last chapters were so hard to read, I felt a constant pain knowing what is going to happen.

The multiple pov and the audible version worked wonderfully for this book.

Despite the fact that I figured out pretty early in the book who the killer was, I enjoyed the unraveling of the plot.

If you're looking for a quick murder mystery thriller that will keep you reading, this book is it. The before and after times combined with alternating points of view keep you turning pages, although I would have preferred fewer povs, I think. 

Definitely keep me reading.

Great book! Definitely read if you're a fan of Netflix mysteries/murder documentaries like "Making a Murderer". Follows a family whose son was convicted of murder and the aftermath after a Netflix-type documentary comes out about him. Flashbacks throughout the book. Couldn't put it down towards the end!

The plot revolves around the main family dying at beginning of the book (family includes 2 minors). The main family's oldest son is in prison for murder. One of the characters was in a serious car accident with resulting brain/mental injuries, the same character acts racist towards other characters.

We later learn the family was murdered, descriptions of the family's last moments from each of their perspectives before the killer does the deed is described. Father attempts suicide which is described in detail. We learn the antagonist (an adult) sexually assaulted the victim (who was a minor) in the past and murders them to cover it up (the victim was pregnant).
