I love that books are starting to explore/interrogate the true crime media/podcast obsession. This book was a really interesting take on trying to solve a cold case. The small town setting always works so well, and the book truly kept me guessing by introducing so many lies and secrets and tangents. The podcast episodes were a cool way to push the story forward. The memory loss angle was also effective — I love when the narrator is unreliable even to themselves. 
I think I would’ve loved a bit more resolution for some of the threads that were opened, and a little more character (this book was definitely plot-focused). But overall, i enjoyed this story — definitely a page turner
