Many thanks to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for gifting me a digital ARC of the debut thriller by Ashley Tate - 4 stars!
Ten years ago, three teenagers were involved in a crash and one died. The other two, along with the town residents, are still trying to recover from the tragedy. There's a memorial planned and a vote underway to tear down the bridge where the accident happened. But too many questions are still floating around - mainly, what happened in the 27 minutes before the driver called the police?
Told in both past and present timelines from multiple POV, we gradually learn all the secrets that people have been keeping. The brother dealing with guilt over the fact that he was driving and his sister died; the secret girlfriend; the other girl in the car, along with all the town gossip swirling. I thought this was a tense thriller that kept me guessing and I didn't see that end coming. It was an interesting character study into grief, secrets, trauma. I'm excited to read more from this author in the future!
