Loved this take on true crime podcasts and the presumed guilt of people involved in a murder. The town felt very small town with people quick to judge. Grandma was a great bit of levity in what could have otherwise been a too dark story. Listening to this definitely added an extra layer since the main story is broken up with "podcast" episodes about what is being uncovered.

I loved reading this book and I think the storyline was so good. I will say, however, that my favorite thing about this book is the unreliable narrator. Do I know if the ending is what really happened? No I don’t, and the fact that I don’t know makes this book so much better in my eyes.

Solid whodunnit murder mystery. I wouldn't consider this "thrilling," and the pace felt slower compared to other thrillers, but the ending took an unexpected twist and got some momentum. I enjoyed the podcast transcriptions throughout.

This was a pretty solid read but as far as thrillers go it didn't really wow me. However, I liked the podcast element and how it sounded on the audiobook and I thought the narrators did a good job not only with the story but with the other character voices as well. It was engaging to listen to that way and I think I enjoyed this more on audio than I would have physically.

Can’t remember the last time I finished a book in two days (there were many other things I should have been doing but I couldn’t stop reading - the greatest feeling!) or sobbed (not cried, sobbed) over a book. Definitely read but make sure you have a block of free time.
