 This book follows two women: a podcaster, Rachel, who visits a beach town to report on a divisive rape trial and Hannah, a woman from the town who tragically lost her sister as a teen. As Rachel continues to dive into her current trial, she is intrigued as Hannah leaves her multiple letters describing her sister’s suspicious death. Does Rachel have the bandwidth to take on both cases at once? I really liked this book! It was indeed sad as both alleged crimes are heartbreaking. It was also a page turner as I really wanted to know how it all would come together. (4⭐️)
