tense

From Novelist:
Themes:
Home again, life in small towns, coping with death, family gatherings
Storyline:
Intricately plotted
Mood:
Suspenseful
Style:
Atmospheric
This book reminded me so much of her backlist title The Perfect Stranger from 2017. The writing, the setting, and the mood/style were very similar to me. I liked this one but I also found it hard to follow at times and I wasn't that shocked by any of the plot developments. However I really felt connected to Hazel and I could empathize with her throughout the novel. It was interesting to me how the weather played a role as a minor character. It felt very symbolic of how Hazel was trying to not drown in her past and the secrets that are unraveling.
An enjoyable read that Megan Miranda fans should certainly pick up!
