Many thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this debut thriller by Rachel Louise Adams. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!
It's only the beginning when a local politician goes missing in Little Horton, Wisconsin. The town is known for its Halloween celebrations as well as a history of violent deaths associated with the holiday. Dolores fled her family and bad memories twenty years ago for a career as a forensic politician in California. But when the FBI calls to tell her that her father is missing under mysterious circumstances, she returns home. Her father's last words to her were - trust no one.
This is an amazing debut and the book you should read as we head into the Halloween creepy season. There's the perfect mix of creepiness and suspense that kept building throughout the book. Small town memories are funny things too - everyone has a different perspective, especially when family is involved. I was never sure who I could trust and what their motives were. Plus, there's lots of family drama to unpack here. All I knew was that once I started this book, I was completely enthralled. I am also really hoping that this is the start of a series, because I'm so anxious to know what happens to these characters!
