As always the author's writing is beautiful (even when the subject is not). I was glad to catch up with Russ and Clare and others in the Miller's Kill world. I do not normally like books that moved between timelines but I thought this was done very well. There are three separate murders: one in 1950, one in 1972 and one current day. We get to see the police chief in each time period doing the work to find out who killed the young women. It was interesting to get the backstory on the relationships between the past police chiefs and how they played into the current. I was surprised by the ending of the book and felt like we have three cliffhangers plus a possible romance for Russ's mom, Margy. I do want more of this series.
