love the way that she writes. Lots of info frequently, lots of twists and very suspenseful. I didn’t look at the content warning for this book and almost wish I had.. the ending was great and I actually correctly guessed the murderer this time (first time in one of her books lol) but man was it dark. If you’re someone who is bothered by sexual harassment etc, maybe think twice about this one. Glad I read it, and it was VERY well done with a cool little snippet after the book about the authors life that pertains to the story but this story has multiple dark themes and is actually pretty gruesome IMO.

A bright, lovable teenage girl has been murdered and in this seemingly innocent small town, no one can believe that one of their own could be responsible. Although it seems like nearly every male character in this book is either a creep, an enabler or just generally a bad person.
The concept was gripping and because everyone seemed like a suspect, I really enjoyed the flip flopping of my own theory vs what the story was portraying.
This was my second Shari Lapena book and compared to An Unwanted Guest this was definitely more engaging.
