I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing.
The four Williams siblings were raised by their Gran after their parents died when they were young. When Gran dies, they’re brought together again to her house for the funeral. But June, Tara, and Clementine, along with their sister-in-law Stephanie, find themselves in a different kind of situation - a man has gone missing, and the town Sheriff thinks the Williams sisters are to blame based on their history.
The story rotates through the POVs of the four women, with each of their lives unraveling in some way. I found all of them pretty unlikeable, except maybe Clementine since she seemed like she was more of a victim in her situation, whereas the other siblings were responsible for their own problems. But that was part of the point - the Williams women have always done what they felt necessary, even if it wasn’t exactly legal.
I did like how the story unfolded, with Stephanie in current POV talking to the Sheriff, and then going back to the events of the last few days with the sisters’ POVs. The twist was good, and I liked how the ending came together, even if some things were still left unresolved.
