A small town were the law is never on your side and were hope goes to die. There was so much corruption in this town it is astonishing. The plot twist and multiple POVs worked so well in this book. The plot played out so well and I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

There were so many good quotes from this. Unfortunately, I could only include this one because I borrowed the audiobook and forgot to get more before returning it.
