Two murders, 15 years apart, one survivor each time.... who did it?

We follow the journey of the survivor of the original attack, the brother of the original fugitive, and the FBI agent who has been tasked with finding the link between the two cases.

I was hooked with this one. I like that the prologue was a set up of what happened and then you're kind of working backwards the whole time while also working to figure out the current case. The different perspectives of the people involved with the cases made it interesting to see exactly what they were fighting for in regards to finding answers.

I was constantly thinking of theories, or shook by the twists and turns that it took. I'm not usually big on whodunnit books but man this one was great. It keeps the twists coming at appropriate times. It wasn't so suspenseful that I felt my heart beating out of my chest but also wasn't so tame that I saw every twist and turn coming.
