Well, this started strong. I was really into the setting and small town vibes. The family dynamic was intriguing and provided for some good drama. Ultimately, this went a bit off the rails. This was compared to Mare of Easttown which absolutely was the wrong way to market this book. This leans towards horror (still didn’t fully commit) over a police procedure. Rachel was an awful wife, mother and bad at her job - you can’t be all three and be a good MC! The dialogue became rough, the characters sucked and the ending was all over the place. Others may have a better time though!
