Setting: Small Town Vermont
Time: Present
Diana, the most popular girl in her senior class, is found murdered. Lying alone in a field, strangulation marks, vultures circling when a farmer finds her. Who did this? Everyone has an opinion, but which one is right? When small town love becomes everyone’s a suspect, you know there will be twists.
Loved that Diana is a voice within the story, loved that we got the take on the crime from so many in her life. From parents, boyfriend, best friends, teachers, even a construction worker has something to say about her death and why it happened. Speculation abounds on this journey through small town Fairhill, Vermont, and I enjoyed every second of it. True crime fans, and domestic thriller fans will enjoy this one sitting read.
Graphic: Child death, Grief, and Murder
Moderate: Pedophilia, Sexual assault, and Sexual harassment
Minor: Bullying, Confinement, and Stalking
