Synopsis:
Steppy Corner, voice of hit true crime podcast series All the Dark Corners, wakes in hospital with no memory of what brought her to Heartsick - the small Colorado town where her estranged family live - no memory of why she was racing up the mountainside to her parents' house late at night . . . or why she didn't make that bend.
All she knows is her mother has been brutally murdered and her brother is the prime suspect.
As Steppy begins to piece together events in the run-up to the accident, she discovers her brother's connection to another ongoing case, that of a missing girl last seen with him on Halloween.
Steppy knows better than anyone that the truth often hides in the darkest of corners, but as she races to untangle the web of secrets and lies, will it ultimately prove too close to home?
Review:
The synopsis of this book sounded very promising to me, but once I started reading I was bored. Some parts were hard to read I had to reread the sentence to understand what was being said a few times, I did not connect with any characters and this is just a personal preference but the chapters were to long.
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC
I was able to read The Night of the Crash by Jessica Irena Smith fairly quickly. Most of the story held my interest, but I was never really able to connect with any of the characters.
Steppy Corner has a true crime podcast series called All the Dark Corners. She wakes up in the hospital with no memory of what brought her to Heartsick, the small Colorado town where her estranged family lives.
All she knows is her mother has been brutally murdered and her brother is the prime suspect.
As Steppy begins to piece together events in the run-up to the accident, she discovers her brother's connection to another ongoing case, that of a missing girl last seen with him on Halloween.
The premise sounded so promising, but I was hoping for more and more page-turning action. The story was just okay for me.
