I absolutely loved this novel and truly felt like I was transported to this little town in Appalacia. Pearsall does a great job with weaving the setting of the story with the characters and the plot. She also did a fantastic job of twisting the narrative to keep the reader guessing and asking questions to try to figure out the mystery.
I delighted in Linden's grit and determination to set things right within this town to protect it from further kidnappings or murders. The relationships between the sisters was so fun to read about, because though they are all different, they support each other when absolutely needed. It reminded me of my own relationship with my sister. I was a big fan of Cole and the way he was always there to protect Linden, despite their strained friendship. Finally, I was mesmerized by the twists and turns this novel took me while I was reading throughout this mystery.
