Ashley Flowers has written what she knows: small town Indiana and (fictional) true crime.
It kinda feels JonBenet Ramsey murder fanfiction. But, since that's an unsolved murder with several theories, I guess it's reasonable to fictionalize it.
The double narrative, the twists, the turns, the epilogue... It all came together well. I enjoyed reading it. I didn't loooove it probably because I felt detached from the characters, and that's okay.
