⚠️ CW: murder, drug use, mental health, child abuse, sexual assault, rape ⚠️ If you're a fan of true crime and gripping thrillers then this one is for you! A mother, her daughter and a family friend are brutally killed at Kellon Manse one quiet summer’s day, and a young girl disappears and has not been seen since. All fingers point to the husband of one of the victims. Yet he still walks free and the case is listed as an unsolvable crime. This is until Cristy Ward discovers the case and thinks it will be the perfect feature for her true crime podcast. But who really killed the three women at Kellon Manse? And is there a chance the missing girl is still alive? This book had me obsessed with this fictional case! It is filled with twists and turns and left me suspecting everyone and despite thinking I had cracked the case, the big reveal truly left me speechless (and I was very wrong with my guesses). I did drop it down a star however, because there were so many characters and it was a bit difficult to follow them all at times and I think it could have easily been shortened to a standard length book rather than a 500+ page behemoth. Overall though, I loved this book and highly recommend it!
