Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Kelsey Cox, narrated by a talented cast. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Twenty-five years ago, Isabelle Whitmore vanishes without a trace. In the present, Isabelle's sister, Ingrid, returns home just in time for a construction crew to start digging up the ranch owned by Isabelle's boyfriend, who was always suspected of the crime. The pagent girls and now pagent moms, and the same toxic relationships fester. Everything comes to a boiling point as an ice storm brings down the power grid during the pagent, trapping everyone inside.
The full cast on this audiobook made this a real listening treat, to go along with a wonderful, twisty story told from two different timelines, including a cold case disappearance from decades ago. Taking place in small town Texas, where the girls are mean and the pageant life is all important, it’s filled with so many potential suspects. So of course it’s also filled with over-the-top situations, but that ending? Mind blown. After Cox’s wonderful debut, Party of Liars, definitely no sophomore slump here. The perfect summer thriller is here!
