Following three separate characters who come to a small town called Maple Bay, unaware of how their lives will intertwine with one another as dark family secrets come to light… 
 
I absolutely devour this fast-paced, easy-to-read story with its short chapters, making it difficult to put down my Kindle. 
Treasure hunting and murder mystery are a fantastic combo to make a great book, I was captivated with the mystery of the hidden treasure and later, the murder investigation. 
 
The last 20% of the book is where things get really intense! 
That one huge twist was something I didn’t see coming at all, the clues were there but I completely missed them! 
 
Overall, such a fun and thrilling mystery with a satisfying ending! 
The author cleverly wrote the twist and placed the clues in a way that wasn’t obvious, making for an unexpected surprise! 
I will definitely be looking for more books by this author in the future! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
