Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for gifting me the latest thriller by Nicole Baart - 4.5 stars!
When Juniper was a teenager, her next-door neighbors were brutally murdered and her brother, Jonathan, considered the prime suspect in their small town. Juniper was destroyed by all the events that summer and started a new life elsewhere. But she has come home to Iowa to help an old friend battling breast cancer with the hopes of improving the relationship with the daughter she left behind to be raised by her mother. Juniper wants to solve the mystery of the murders and clear her brother's name but she's not the only one still investigating. Someone has started a podcast bent on proving Jonathan's guilt and the local police are investigating. Is the past coming back to once again ruin her family's lives?
Told in alternating chapters of when Juniper was a teenager that fateful summer and the present day, Nicole Baart has woven a wonderful tale of mystery and family drama. Everyone is carrying secrets they've held close for years - is the truth buried in those lies? The author really put you in the scene and you could empathize with these characters. Tense and suspenseful - don't miss this one!
