Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest in the Jess Lambert series by Christina McDonald. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
On Christmas Eve, the Harper family's car crashed and 16-year-old Alice was the only survivor. Her parents and younger sister Ella had just disappeared. One year later, Alice is still trying to deal with nightmares and questions when she and her friends find Ella's backpack in the basement of an abandoned house. Detective Jess Lambert investigates and uncovers dark secrets that connect to her past.
I love this series more with each book! Jess Lambert is such a multi-faceted character - , kick-ass detective, recovering alcoholic, obsessed with her job, devastated by the loss of her daughter, haunted by ghosts of the past. Jess feels a bond with Alice and won't rest until she brings her some closure to the mystery of her family's disappearance, no matter what the personal cost. Told in alternating POV from Jess, Alice and Laura (Alice's mom) in the past, it's atmospheric, creepy, with that touch of the supernatural that just adds another layer to the mystery. A must read along with the others in the series - very anxious for more to come!
