A brilliantly written novel with an extraordinary story about an unbalanced author trying to write a true story about a childhood crime. Impossible to put down as you journey through the twists and turns in the story that lead to a surprising finale. A highly recommended read and worthy of five stars.

This was a pretty good book. Each chapter pulled you into the next and it wasn’t a long book. Nothing was drawn out. I might judge a book by how many pages there are. Some books would be so much better if they would just end. I loved the atmosphere! I’m not sure if that makes sense but the writing, the characters, the location, the dialogue all provided the perfect story. It’s not really one I understood. I have re-read the ending several times and I feel like I’m missing something. I will say I had no clue who was going to be at fault for the twins disappearance. I blamed it on everyone before we got to the end. One thing I found interesting was that the author was told he had cancer but it was a false positive. It was due to the fact that he had so many tattoos that the ink pigmented in his lymph nodes and it gave a false positive. I googled it. It’s true.

A small town’s secrets make this story intriguing. This talented author has written a mystery that is different. It is difficult to discern the truth from the lies. This book moves quickly and the characters are realistic. This is a novel that will be remembered long after it is finished. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author.
