This novel was a bit slower than expected, but in the best way. I took my time with it and thoroughly enjoyed the story. The discussion of genealogy was interesting, and I personally enjoy the forensics side of criminology quite a bit so this was very much up my alley. A sad story, but also hopeful in a way. Beautifully written, I would definitely recommend it.

In 1983 a group of unsuspecting hikers find the bodies of a woman and two children, wrapped in sheets and stuffed into a container, abandoned in New Mexico’s Gil’s National Forest. Years later two different amateur sleuths Laura and Jean are drawn to solve the case. They each become obsessed to find the truth behind the murders. “The Night Flowers,” is raw, shocking, emotional, dark, and deeply compelling.
