This was an enjoyable small-town secrets mystery! I liked how it seems that the author is truly from Texas. As a born and raised Texan, there are some comments about Texas culture in this book that really made me laugh. The twists were enjoyable. I do think by the 60% mark to the end was a little bit of a holding pattern. However, I could easily see this book turning into a tv series. I will gladly read another mystery/thriller book from this author.

Trigger warnings: Blood, violence, discussions of past domestic violence, brief mention of sexual assault. 

I've been really looking forward to this book for a while now and was thrilled to see it as a Book of the Month selection for this month. I was not disappointed. The story sucked me in almost immediately and I genuinely had no idea what to expect until the very end. My only (very minor) complaint is that there is one small thing left unresolved toward the end, but I think that was likely intentional because the reader is supposed to draw their own conclusions. This was definitely one of my favorite reads so far this year and left me wanting to seek out more books by this author.

Can’t remember the last time I finished a book in two days (there were many other things I should have been doing but I couldn’t stop reading - the greatest feeling!) or sobbed (not cried, sobbed) over a book. Definitely read but make sure you have a block of free time.
