Lies We Bury by Elle Marr
5.0
Riveting murder mystery
I wasn't sure how I wanted to rate this, but after some thought I really don't have any complaints... besides the main character continually putting herself in incriminating positions, self sabotaging, and a few writing flaws (how does one sit on a couch so that springs press into their face?)
It takes all the riveting details of crime that you just can't look away from and offers them not only to the reader but to Marissa Claire Mo as well — it's a fascinating dynamic that holds your attention all the way through, especially with no clear suspect at hand for the string of murders. I also appreciated the accurate portrayal of the effects of trauma in the characters, as well as they developed throughout the book.
