A Fast Paced Murder Mystery That Will Keep You Guessing
This fast paced murder mystery definitely kept me guessing.
Olivia is the daughter of the former director of a summer camp where three people were murdered in 2008. She's just found out that her father isn't her biological father and is trying to wrap her head around that when her older sister announces plans to reopen the camp. Regan has just found out from a podcast that her mother is the woman accused of murdering three people at a summer camp in 2008. After listening to the evidence, she knows the police bungled the case and is setting out to the camp to clear her mother's name. Unfortunately, someone is determined to keep the secrets of that night and won't stop until everyone connected to the camp is dead.
The multiple POV's through the different timelines were great and gave you just enough to think you had everything figured out before it veered off into another direction. My biggest critique is with the ending-- it all wrapped up a bit too nicely and the motive made very little sense. I may just be too old for this kind of story because I kept yelling "that's not how things happen!" to my kindle.
Without giving too many spoilers, the secondary reveal felt very out of place and in my opinion, made the story a bit cheesy.
All in all it was an enjoyable, fast, suspenseful YA read.
