Absolutely brilliant! Finally, a thriller/crime book with a clever concept that is perfectly executed.
I never read blurbs, reviews, or even the summary of books, so I was a little confused for the first 15 to 20 pages and finally googled to see if this was in fact a fictitious book, or a true crime (there is a statement in the beginning that states it's fiction, but it sure didn't read like it haha).
If you like crime thrillers, especially those set in small towns, and if you're a true crime fan, I highly recommend you read it.
I have no doubts this will be in my top 5 of the year.
