Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing | Thomas & Mercer for gifting me a physical and digital ARC of the latest thriller by Kate White. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Bree Winter has worked hard to move on with her life after her daughter's murder a decade ago. She's now divorced and living with a new partner in Uruguay. Then her ex-husband, Logan, shows up with news that the man who was convicted of murdering her husband made a deathbed confession of murdering two other young women, but not their daughter, Mel. The only way Bree can get answers is to go back to the scene of the crime and search for the truth once and for all.
This was a gripping, character-driven thriller, and I really appreciated the fact that the main character was a relatable, middle-aged woman. She's desperate to find out exactly what happened to her daughter, and you can feel her grief and pain. It's also interesting to explore her feelings towards returning home, seeing her ex with a new partner, and dealing with all the issues that caused their marriage to fail - all while she's in a new relationship with a partner who's a continent away. The mystery itself is compelling as new information comes to light and the behaviors and motives of many characters are questionable. This was a tough book to set down!
