Overall, I had a good time with this one. There was a great hook right from the start. The journey Sydney goes on is believable and I felt like I was right along side her trying to discover what happened. There were page-turning moments and the ending tied up all of the loose ends nicely leaving me satisfied with the conclusion.

The first third of the book was a bit slow and it was hard to get into initially. I realize this was to set the scene and develop the characters but it was a lot of family drama that I didn’t care much about. It wasn’t until about a third of the way through that the story took off and had me invested.

This was an easy read and definitely something to pick up if you’re at all into true crime. I also appreciated the emphasis on the fact that cases involving black people are much less publicized and more likely to go unsolved.

This was such a good book! It had a lot of twists and turns and it was truly a gripping book. It has secrets, missing info found out from the past, etc. And without giving too much away, it is a wild ride! It was not what I was expecting, and I really enjoyed reading this book!!

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!
