4.0

fast paced, engaging thriller that centers on the murder of a teenage girl, diana, and the subsequent investigation into her death. this story was told from multiple perspectives and there were a variety of potential killers. i have to say, i almost gave this one up because the initial scenes were a bit graphic but it gets wayyy better from there and isn't scary/gruesome at all after that. i am so proud of myself for correctly guessing the murderer, although i do have to say that the last third of the book was ridiculous and not plausible at all. that being said, i did thoroughly enjoy this book!

the audiobook was great and i couldn't stop listening!

I knew I liked the previous books I've read from this author so I picked this one up. I was hooked instantly. The story was fast paced and gave enough information to keep me guessing. I did figure out the killer about half way through yet I still loved the mystery. The ending made sense. I mention this as I read so many that want a 'couldn't guess the ending' type story and fail to make it make logical sense.

The small town drama the gets unearthed by a murder was so good! Secrets don't stay secret long in a small town.

I clocked the twist early on and it felt like there were too many view points as a way to try and hide the ending. The very end felt rushed and there were some loose threads in my opinion.
