Where the Guilty Hide is an immersive and outstanding read. This book involves the convergence of two storylines; Detectives Matthias Honeywell and Cassie Malone investigating a series of break-ins in Lake Erie, and Emma Anderson, a photographer unknowingly capturing a murder victim through the lens. Annette Dashofy does an incredible job with pacing and the revelations that binds the storylines together, the character development of Matthias and Emma and the unexpected twist that leaves the reader captivated and mesmerised. A thorough police procedural with an incredible mix of supporting characters meant to keep you on your toes. At times the description of the characters got repetitive, which slightly dimmed my reading experience. Small towns indeed hold plenty of secrets unveiled at critical points, which makes this read utterly satisfying. This is my first book by Annette, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for giving me an e-ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
