3.0

There was a lot going on in this one, but it definitely held my attention.  We have a slow burn with unreliable narrators,
a 40 year old murder that hinged on a toddler’s confession, and an overwhelming sense of dread.  This book was riddled with unlikeable characters but they were written extremely well.
