Kimberly Crepeaux is not known for telling the truth. She does the heroin, is a teen mom and now adds jail house snitch to her resume.
FBI investigator Rob Barrett is one of the few people who actually believes her story. After all she IS implicating herself in the murder of two local teenagers. She tells them where the bodies are and now Barrett just has to go find them.
The bodies turn up at a completely different location. Murdered in a different way than Kimmy told. So Barrett looks like a ding dong and gets sent off to the boonies.
Kimmy can't let it go though and keeps contacting him and when the father of the murdered girl joins up with her Barrett heads back to Maine.
So this book did drag in spots, but the thing kept me reading. I totally wanted to know how it was going to wrap up. The character development is pretty freaking awesome. The bad? Some of it didn't seem plausible but who cares? I still sorta liked it.
(Or read some books...)

Clever mystery set in small town Maine but not a whole lot of depth. Fine for a beach read.

A solid murder mystery where you’re pretty sure you know who did it but enough curves are thrown in there to make you wonder.
How it Happened used a clever way to tell a story. A high three star mystery, I liked a lot of things about this book but struggled with disliking the main character.

I really enjoyed this book. The confusion and constant changing of character's confessions made this a challenging mystery to understand until the end. Giving it 4 stars because there was a bit of a conspiracy subplot I didn't like, but the author was able to tie it in nicely.
