  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

I have been wanting to read this book since I heard Andrea Mara speak about it at a book event in January. I think what is great about this book is that the initial premise starts from something so innocent, that perhaps many of us have fallen victim to, but then snowballs into something so much bigger than the reader could expect. 

Not as fast paced as No One Saw A Thing but still gripping and tense in its own way. I like the style in which it is written and how the lives of all those in Oakpark and beyond are so intertwined.

A must read for people who love small town drama with gossip, secrets and bodies that just keep piling up.
