📚 My Review: There was so much to love about this book! It hooked me from the start and I didn't want to put it down. The writing was fast paced and I really enjoyed how each of the multiple POVs provided a unique aspect that kept you guessing as to their involvement.. if any! 🤔

If I had one complaint, it would be how the actual murderer was revealed. Don't get me wrong, I love a good plot twist but this one actually left me feeling a bit disappointed. It makes me so sad because I loved everything else about the whole thing!

This was my first book by the author and it definitely won't be my last.

Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada for the eARC of this book.

📚 Goodreads Synopsis: The new binge-worthy novel from the “queen of the one-sit read,” and New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door

Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont. But this morning that will change. And one innocent question could be deadly. What have you done?

The teenagers get their kicks telling ghost stories in the old graveyard. The parents trust their kids will arrive home safe from school. Everyone knows everyone. Curtains rarely twitch. Front doors are left unlocked.

But Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs. Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures, discovered by a local farmer.

How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly, familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia.

Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers.
