Summary:
They say there are no secrets in a small town…
Criminal
psychologist Audrey Harte is returning home after seven years. She’ll
have to face the whispers and the rumors that have haunted her family
since she left. Because when Audrey was thirteen, she and her best
friend Maggie killed Maggie’s abusive father.
Her first night
back in town ends in a fight with a drunken Maggie, with her old crush
Jake to witness it all. Audrey can’t believe it can get worse. Then
Maggie turns up dead.
Now, Audrey has to find out who the
murderer is – before everyone decides that she is to blame. And before
the murderer can set their sights on her.
***Short & Sweet Reviews are
short, quick reviews. These will mainly be used for series books where I
have already done full reviews on some of the earlier books or for
books that I feel will suffice with a quick review. These will not be
used for review requests or blog tours.
My thoughts: I had picked this up on a whim while at the bookstore a few years ago and then it sat on my bookshelf until now. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to read it, it was just that I had so many books and too little time. But I’m glad I finally made the time to read it – it was good!
I liked the premise of this book – it’s a good thriller that kept me invested in the story and ends up going in a direction I definitely did not see coming. And all the characters are a bit messed up and there’s nothing I love more than that. This for sure will keep me coming back because there’s nothing more that I love than figuring out what’s going on with these characters.
