An emotionally complex thriller. So glad I got to read the first few chapters of this early while at a conference with Young in 2019. Not my usual genre, but I enjoyed this so much that maybe it should be.

Really quick read with a solid mystery. This book has an interesting plot that unfolded at a good pace. The small-town setting and characters were pretty good.

This is a mystery that delivers a lot more than expected. There are well developed, complex characters that I cared about.
