This book has been on my shelf for 3 years and IDK why I just now picked it up! This is a fast paced, who-done-it that follows 2 different crimes taking place decades apart! Told from MPOV and the Guilty or Not Guilty podcast. The twist that was thrown at the end was like woah did not see that coming. This book had me gripped from the beginning and is a super easy read!

Rachel Krall has a successful true crime podcast and this season she's taking the podcast to court. In Neapolis, NC there's a trial set to start, a rape case. Her plan is to attend court each day, and then follow with a podcast episode "putting listeners in the jury box". Upon arriving in Neapolis she receives a letter from Hannah, a former resident who's since returned, and is looking to solve her sister's murder from decades before. At first she's creeped out by the letters, however she can't help but to follow up on the information Hannah divulges.
