Thank you to Quercus and to NetGalley for my advance review copy of this book.
★★★☆☆
Drawn back to her hometown after her father’s death, Hazel is sucked back into the small town life she left ten years ago, including the ghost of her mother’s disappearance and her complex relationship with her two brothers.
Their father’s will reveals more surprises: the family home has been left to Hazel rather than the two flesh-and-blood sons who followed their father’s footsteps into the local police force.
When Hazel’s sister-in-law seems to go missing, Hazel is forced to confront the mysteries of her family’s past and rise to the challenge of her inheritance.
Another compelling small town psychological thriller by Megan Miranda (although I did guess part of the ending straight away).
