Lynsea Wurst

Small towns and secrets always go hand in hand, and this one really leans into the damage those secrets leave behind. The slow, uneasy build works in its favor, and Myla’s true crime angle makes everything feel a little too close to home.

That said… the coffee orders. I get it, it’s a character detail, but it gets so repetitive it starts pulling you out of the story instead of adding to it.

Still, the tension, buried trauma, and messy reveals carry the book. It has solid potential and keeps you hooked even when it drags in spots.

⭐️ 4 stars
Flawed but gripping, and definitely worth the read if you like twisty, small-town chaos.
