I don’t leave reviews often but I do when I feel strongly about a book and this is one I did not enjoy. Very slow, not that exciting and honestly a boring ending.

Lots of twists and turns throughout most of the book… I found it very entertaining.

This book seemed a little slow at times but me story took an unexpected plot twist at the end. I wanted to see more of a wrap-up from the main characters.

Well written, great plot with lots of twists and turns. Couldn’t put it down!

This was a good story, but a little slow and boring in places. It reminded me of Secrets and Lies, The Lottery, and Deliverance, with all the dysfunctional inbreeding in very small towns were residents are secretive, suspicious, distrust outsiders, and make the rules as they go along. After reading this, I would not want to settle in a very small town where everyone knows everyone’s business, with the cruelty of lies and deception normalized.

(No spoiler here). This was an impossible to put down mystery thriller, with unsettling overtones. Well written and engaging. My criticism is that there is a disclosure midway through that really was clumsily introduced, as in, “really, now you tell us?”. It was as if someone was trying to open a safe for half a book, and then discloses, “…oh, by the way, I had the key all along…”

Don’t waste your time and money on this one…
