This book was well written, but it reminded me SO much of The Locked Door by Freida McFadden that I found it distracting.

dark mysterious tense

---

I feel like I had suspects in mind at the start and throughout the book I didn’t know who it would be as new people were brought into the mix 

The narrator was a bit unreliable so that added to the suspense and mystery.

For this being a debut novel, it was a great story. 

The title of the book didn’t really hold much significance to the story though. 

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a page turner but it was very interesting.

Read if you like-
-plot twists
- unreliable narrator
- small town 
- serial killers 
- mental health rep
-psychologist
