My top read for 2024, so far that is. Every aspect of the plot completely worked for me. The sarcastic humour saw me laughing out loud several times but it was never silly nor in bad taste - the mystery/crime storyline was serious, tense, and emotional. I relished being in Lucy’s head, and the Podcast was riveting. Characters, their interactions, and dialogue were top notch, and I’m always ready for a small town murder - particularly when it involves a cold case. I loved every minute of reading this - couldn’t put it down, and I will be recommending this thriller and singing this author’s praises left, right, and centre.
