Gorgeous cover and I received this book with palm tree cocktail stirrers, very tropical! Wow what a great debut! It's beautifully written surrounding a tragic event.
"Claire is only seven years old when her college-age sister, Alison, disappears on the last night of their family vacation at a resort on the Caribbean island of Saint X. Several days later, Alison’s body is found in a remote spot on a nearby cay, and two local men–employees at the resort–are arrested. But the evidence is slim, the timeline against it, and the men are soon released. The story turns into national tabloid news, a lurid mystery that will go unsolved. For Claire and her parents, there is only the return home to broken lives."
Years later Claire befriends one of the men suspected of murdering Alison. This is a page turner with a few twists! Thank you to Celadon Books for the ARC.
