⭐⭐⭐⭐ - fast paced gripping thriller 
Shari Lapena delivers a fast paced thriller that’s hard to put down. The small town setting, shifting perspectives, and ghostly narration of the victim Diana add haunting depth to the mystery (but wish there was more of this throughout the book) . The pacing is relentless, with cliffhanger chapter endings and multiple suspects keeping me guessing. While I figured out the culprit too early, the emotional weight and portrayal of a town unraveling under suspicion still made it a gripping read.  Overall a great read from this author as this is my first book by her and won't be my last.

Loved this mystery!!! I didn’t love the perspectives from Diana but maybe that is just me. I didn’t see the ending coming!
