This book should be called Sticky Legs sheerly due to the number of times Flynn wrote about them as if they added to the plot.

This was a short read but it was super graphic and dark. Consider this your trigger warning because everything in this book could trigger someone. Despite that, giving it a 7/10.
A book about a reporter who has to return to her hick home town and report on the murders of two young girls, while simultaneously rehashing old wounds and getting to know her significantly younger half sister. I think this book was well written for the most part and heart wrenching in many ways. There was some predictability and also some surprises. It was a little unrealistic in my opinion but not impossible. I do feel like it was a little unnecessarily graphic at times but I guess dark things are meant to make you uncomfortable.
If you like creepy mysteries you’d probably like this book but as I said, major trigger warnings so read at your own risk.
