Is Reese a victim\u2026 or the killer With everyone hiding something, Courtney races to uncover the terrible mystery. But the closer she gets, the harder it is to know who\u2014or what\u2014to trust.<\/p>\n

A quiet lake resort. A double murder. A missing teenage niece. And a main character stumbling right into the middle of it all. I didn\u2019t even properly read the blurb if I\u2019m being honest. Mary Kubica is one of my absolute favorite authors so I was all in the second I saw her name. No regrets. Zero. Zilch. From the opening scene I was hooked. Kubica builds this eerie sense of unease that had me second guessing every single person. I didn\u2019t trust the neighbors. I didn\u2019t trust the police. Honestly, Courtney was the only one I did trust. That slow unravelling of truth is so satisfying and the tension is perfectly done. Just when I thought I had a grip on what was going on, the rug got pulled right out from under me. I mean it. One of those twists actually made me gasp out loud. Holy balls. That is all I will say.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars for this novel. The writing is sharp, the emotion runs deep, and the pace never once stalls. A total winner from a longtime favorite. The suspense and mystery of it all was an exciting read and I really enjoyed how the author made sure to always keep our attention while having our pulse pounding in just wanting to get to the answers!<\/p>\n
