Baart explores the complexity and repercussions of family secrets in this book that travels between the past and the present to solve a double murder. Compelling, but would've liked a bit more fleshing out of the motives at the end. ( ) I must have read a different book than everyone that gave this 5 stars! Reads like a YA book. In the first 60 pages you can easily figure out: Who how the story will end Who the father is of June’s kid Most of the misdirection regarding who the killer is and isn’t. Then you get 200 pages of boring fluff that goes nowhere and means nothing. The past 40 or so pages has the reveal but by then it was just an explanation of what I already figured out. At first this book felt a little mass-market and if it was going to deliver a cheap thrill. Then it got kind of good - I had a lot of questions about Juniper and why she left Jericho and her daughter behind, and I was really interested in her story and what really happened when she was a teenager. However I was quickly able to make some really good guesses about what happened - who Willa's father was, etc. There was one twist I didn't quite expect but the foreshadowing was all there as well. It's a good thrill and a quick read once you get past the first 30 pages or so. I really enjoyed this book and although it's rare for me to like this, I am glad that they did not just focus on the murder, but also on June's life. I had a feeling from the beginning that Law was going to have been involved and I figured he was going to take the route that he did in the end. I wish we had gotten more closure between June and Sullivan and gotten the reason why Sullivan married Ashley in the first place. I really wanted June and Sullivan to be together so it would have been nice to see. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:From the author of Little Broken Things, a "race-to-the-finish family drama" (People) following a mother who must confront the dark summer that changed her life forever in order to reclaim the daughter she left behind. Juniper Baker had just graduated from high school and was deep in the throes of a summer romance when Cal and Beth Murphy, a childless couple who lived on a neighboring farm, were brutally murdered. When her younger brother became the prime suspect, June's world collapsed and everything she loved that summer fell away. She left, promising never to return to tiny Jericho, Iowa. Until now. Officially, she's back in town to help an ill friend manage the local library. But really, she's returned to repair her relationship with her teenage daughter, who's been raised by Juniper's mother and stepfather since birthâ??and to solve the infamous Murphy murders once and for all. She knows the key to both lies in the darkest secret of that long-ago summer night, one that's haunted her for nearly fifteen years. As history begins to repeat itself and a dogged local true crime podcaster starts delving into the murders, the race to the truth puts past and present on a dangerous collision course. Juniper lands back in an all-too-familiar place with the answers to everything finally in her sights, but this time it's her daughter's life that hangs in the balance.
