I would risk it all for stacy willingham & anything she writes!! she just knows how to get those plot twists in there with just enough hints to keep the reader guessing - and a bingeable, fast-paced, addicting story!
in this one, the plot focuses on claire, returning home after her mother injures herself and gets re-invested in her sister’s cold case 😶 and let me tell you, there’s something about cold cases that always gets my blood pumping!! it’s the unsolved mysteries girlie in me 💀
the vibes around the small town & galloway farms were a mix of THE LAST HOUSEWIFE and THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS - and just the right amounts of “off” to get the reader invested and wary of everyone 😳 and boy did I love second guessing every single character!!
while I did guess about half of the plot twists, I found myself enjoying the ride and reveals more than anything! some of the moments were definitely telling rather than showing, especially in the diary entries, but it didn’t distract from the overall writing by much!
a huge thank you to stacy and minotaur for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review! the begging worked!!! 🤭
