BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Everyone has a secret they’ll do anything to hide…
Twenty-five years ago, the body of sixteen-year-old Eve Knox was found in the caves near her home in small-town Grotto, Iowa—discovered by her best friend, Maggie, and her sister, Nola. There were a handful of suspects, including her boyfriend, Nick, but without sufficient evidence the case ultimately went cold.
For decades Maggie was haunted by Eve’s death and that horrible night. Now a detective in Grotto, and seven months pregnant, she is thrust back into the past when a new piece of evidence surfaces and the case is reopened. As Maggie investigates and reexamines the clues, secrets about what really happened begin to emerge. But someone in town knows more than they’re letting on, and they’ll stop at nothing to keep the truth buried deep.
REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Maggie found the body of her best friend as a teenager and now, 25 years later, is a police detective assigned to the cold case of her friend Eve and her sister, Nola.
There are a lot of twists in this story and a lot of suspects. I have to say I was surprised at who-dun-it which is usually good for me (I enjoy when the author can trick me) but in this instance it was more of a “hmmm ok I guess”.
But that being said the build up to the end was really a fast page turning read. The characters are all interesting and full of personality and all have their reasons as to why.
Very good read.
