Many thanks to NetGalley, Touchstone, and Megan Collins for the opportunity to read and review her debut novel - a great read - 4.5 stars! I can't wait to read more from this author.
Secrets - this book is all about those secrets we keep from each other, even in the closest of families and relationships. Persephone was secretly seeing a boy her mother refused her to see and her sister, Sylvie, helped keep that secret. Then one night, Persephone didn't come home. After her murdered body was found, nothing was ever the same - her mother was shattered and turned to drink, leaving Sylvie mostly in the care of her Aunt Jill. Worse, Sylvie blamed Persephone's boyfriend, Ben, son of the wealthy mayor, for her sister's murder but no one was ever charged.
Sixteen years later, the murder still not solved, Sylvie is estranged from her mother but is forced to go home and help care for her after her cancer diagnosis. In the hospital where her mother is receiving treatment, she discovers that Ben is now a nurse. Soon she is embroiled back into investigating her sister's murder.
This book was hard to put down - while it explores the mystery of who killed Persephone, it also delves into all those secrets we keep as well as family relationships.
