Atmospheric and convincing, this book offers a strong plot and an unusual setting. The author does a good job creating believable characters, whether they are teens or adults. I think the setting made a lot of sense - both in terms of location and era - as it really allowed the author to delve into how people act under pressure and without some of the more modern distractions. I’m really looking forward to seeing more in this series.

This book had a great plot with intriguing characters. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.

This book sounded very interesting and I thought I would give it a try. The cover of the book is beautifully done (love the colors) and the storyline interesting.

As I started reading the book it began with a very YA feel with the setting in a high school. I felt there were a lot of characters introduced very quickly in the beginning of the book within a very short timeframe but as the story unfolds, you get a better grasp of who the characters are. As additional characters are introduced into the story it is easy to become confused if you aren’t tabbing or keeping track somehow.

I did like the twists at the end as the story began to unfold with the detective as he put the pieces together and the wild ride that he goes through in the process. The book ends on a complete cliff hanger. It appears part II comes out later this year.

Autumn of ’82 by Elena Rex is a tense and atmospheric mystery that unfolds within a small, isolated town. As a case that has kept the island’s residents trapped for months remains unsolved, the discovery of a new crime only deepens the town’s sense of unease. Told from multiple perspectives, including teenagers and a detective, the novel offers a gripping look at how secrets, personal struggles, and unexpected events intertwine. With its complex characters and suspenseful plot, Autumn of ’82 keeps readers guessing until the very end, questioning whether the truth should ever be uncovered. A captivating, multi-layered thriller.

I enjoyed reading this book. I was hooked from the beginning, and I couldn't put it down. This is a book that is set in a small town around the 1980s. Elena Rex did an excellent job with the characters and plot line of the book. It was a captivating book that has such an vivid style of writing. I can't wait to read more from this author. I definitely recommend this book to other readers.
