Always the First to Die by R.J. Jacobs
Not sure I would recommend this one -- I loved all the sneaky little Florida bits, but I thought all of the characters were absolutely insufferable. I disliked them all. They're always like "Wow! This situation is like exactly out of a horror movie! I'm going to go and . . . make bad choices." (cue my disappointed look.)
Jacobs did a good job of building up the mystery and making you want to stay through the end to find out who's the murderer, but it ultimately the ending felt a little unsatisfying and the whole story was a bit too much in the traditional thriller genre for me to fall in love with this.
Thanks to libro.fm for the complimentary audiobook! It was ready by Petrea Burchard who did a great job. I listened on 2.0 - 2.5x speed at varying points.
