Seems like you can’t trust anyone! I really enjoyed this book about a small town that has the murders of two young girls on different occasions about a year apart. Main Character Camille goes back to her home town of Wind Gap to write about those murders for her job back in Chicago and is faced with many ill memories of growing up there. I feel like the only reason I gave this four stars instead of five was because it was kind obvious and predictable who the killer was (to me anyways). I like the darkness and grimness of the book and how vulnerable and different the main character Camille was with her suffering and surviving.
