I am an avid reader of Alice Feeney and I read everything she puts out. I think this might be my favorite one yet. It was very dark and a little creepy, there were unreliable narrator(s), and the ending was *chefs kiss*. 

I also got some Midsommar vibes with the secluded village and they were always talking about “community”. Everything is about the community. 

Grady Green, our main character, played a good clueless, unreliable narrator. I don’t usually like men as protagonists, especially if I’m listening to the audiobook (male voice actors aren’t my favorite) but Richard Armitage has a very nice voice. Grady was also a little slow on the uptake, I was figuring things out before him. More than once, I was like “don’t you write books?! You can’t be this daft.”

I definitely recommend this one and thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for the ARC!
