This is a captivating story that is told in a unique way. The story begins with Rachel, who is a True Crime/Courtroom Podcaster set to report daily from a small town rape trial. The case involved a teenager who was allegedly raped by a college swimming star destined for the Olympics. A second story was told through messages sent to Rachel from the younger sister of a girl who endured a similar rape and death, possible murder 25 years previously in the same town. The story wove its way back and forth between these two threads and did so very convincingly. The historical story is compelling and the current story is also interesting and hard hitting.
This book pushes both stories forward in equal measures. This made for a fantastic plot and fast paced stories.
I found this to be a terrific book and well paced. I highly recommend this for those who love thrillers and courtroom dramas.
