If you’re looking for a fast paced read — this is the book for you — focused on the crime itself and the possible people involved this book is full of mystery and suspenseful moments .

A high school girl’s body is gruesomely discovered naked in a farmer’s field having been partially eaten by animals. This has happened in a town where nothing bad happens, people keep their doors unlocked and are close knit so… Who killed Diana Brewer? And why?

Even though the characters ( victim, her friends etc) are not overly developed but the crime and possible suspects are more focused on in this book— it still keeps you captivated to the point I finished it in one day—I enjoyed the change of POVs throughout the book— but the paranormal aspect for me could’ve been there or not . Overall, I thought it was done very well— and the ending was a bit unexpected for me.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada | Doubleday Canada for this ARC. This is my honest review.

dark mysterious tense

this book was just mediocre and kind of boring. i figured out who was the murderer pretty early on. also that supernatural twist? it was so unnecessary... if it wasn't for the narrator of the audiobook it would have been a dnf for sure.

 A nice straightforward mystery. I guessed who the killer was straightaway. Think it could be shorter and the whole. Too many POVs.
ghost
thing was unnecessary.
