Many thanks to NetGalley and CamCat Books for gifting me an audio ARC of this book by Marcy McCreary and narrated wonderfully by Rachel Fulginiti - the first in a series starring Detective Susan Ford - 4.5 stars!
Forty years ago, The Cutmann Hotel, located in the Catskills, was a glamorous resort, owned and operated by the even more glamorous and perfect Roth family. At least, that's what Susan thought as she grew up nearby and was friends with one of the Roth daughters. But now, Susan is back home and working as a detective in the same department that her father retired from. A cold case from then haunts him still - the disappearance of Trudy Solomon. When skeletal remains are found, Susan and her dad start investigating only to find that Trudy is alive and living in a care home with dementia. But all roads somehow lead back to the Roth's.
This was a listen now on NetGalley and I was in the need of an audiobook, so took a chance on it with not very high expectations. But I really enjoyed this book - I loved the snippets of conversation from Trudy, giving hints as to what happened to her so long ago; I loved the relationship between Susan and her dad; and the police procedural and mystery were spot on. I can't wait to read more from this author and am thrilled that this is the start of a series.
