many thanks to minotaur books and the author for this e-galley
every time i thought i knew what was going on, i was wrong. i figured out what happened to Dolores but i did not catch the hints of who the villain was until it was revealed and i really enjoyed that element of confusion. i liked that the book was split into past and present and that it was third person pov with multiple characters. it felt like i was in Little Horton myself and it made me want even more povs to see what i may have missed.
this was a sloowww burning mystery even though the actions themselves took place in a fairly short time frame. i got to know the characters, their motivations, and see what life was like for them in that small town. i loved that we got to be in every crime with Dolores and how the the reveals just kept coming. i liked the ending but i'm hoping that was a set up for book 2 because the material is there and i'm intrigued.
