This book is indeed dark. Flynn does a fantastic job giving us a concentrated dose of her characters in each POV chapter. I enjoyed the mystery in this book, though Flynn's writing sucked me in so thoroughly that when I closed the book I needed a moment to leave Kinnakee, Kansas behind. Flynn is a great writer and this is another example of her prowess.
