My first book of 2025 and the first book I finished in awhile due to a lot of personal things going on and boy it felt good to finish a book! Two plotlines going on at once, so I got out a trusty notecard to take notes to make sure I knew who was who and what was what. In 1908, Sara Harrison Shea is dealing with the death of her daughter and her and her husband Martin are barely surviving a cold January. In the present day, 19 year old Ruthie's mother is missing and she and her younger sister are trying to find the missing clues to hopefully find her.

The pacing of this book is what kept me going. From chapter to chapter, I kept reading wanting to know where these two timelines would converge and when all my questions would be answered. If the pacing of the book matters to you, I can say this one nailed it.

I was hooked and had to keep reading. This is a historical murder mystery fiction book. I would highly recommend this book, even though it creeped me out. It was still thrilling.

This book was creepy in the best way! I loved the way that it interwove past and present events. Fans of Jennifer McMahon are sure to enjoy this one!
