This is a slow burner mystery about a set of twins - James and Johnny Golden - one of them is dead and the other is determined to figure out why. Atmospheric and beautifully written, I was captured from the first page. 

 

People need to be aware that this is, as previously mentioned, a slow burn. If you’re expecting a fast-paced page turning thriller, you will be disappointed. To find success with this one, I think you need to allow yourself to sink into the pace, appreciate the entire set up Young is trying to achieve, and immerse yourself in the wooded setting. The mystery unravels slowly, and it ended in a totally unexpected way. 

 

While The Unmaking of June Farrow will remain my favorite of Adrienne Young’s books for now, I am always impressed with how she makes me feel part of the story. Almost like I am an actual witness to the characters and their lives - right beside them, walking the path. She is a talented writer and I look forward to her future books.
