I never read blurbs, reviews, or even the summary of books, so I was a little confused for the first 15 to 20 pages and finally googled to see if this was in fact a fictitious book, or a true crime (there is a statement in the beginning that states it's fiction, but it sure didn't read like it haha).
If you like crime thrillers, especially those set in small towns, and if you're a true crime fan, I highly recommend you read it.
I have no doubts this will be in my top 5 of the year.
Minor: Animal cruelty

⁕ I’ve never read a work of meta fiction before, and I found Chizmar’s take on the genre absolutely fascinating. You don’t know what actually occurred and what was fictional until the VERY end.
⁕ It takes a lot to creep me out, but this book had me up past my bedtime with the lights on 😂 The blending of actual circumstances with horror elements made the horror elements feel all the more real and possible. I was thoroughly spooked.
⁕ Chris Andrew Culla’s narration of the audiobook made it feel like I was listening to a true crime podcast. If you like Serial, Up and Vanished, In the Dark, etc., then this might be the perfect audiobook experience for you!
