My thoughts
I really enjoyed this book/audio. It was an arc from NetGalley and Brillance Audio. Narrated by Sarah Naughton. It was very well done. Held my attention and she did a great job of doing each character. I love when a narrator can do this. It makes the story flow so much better.
When Bree's ex husband comes to her home out of the blue she is somewhat dismayed. Having no idea what he could possibly want. She hasn't spoken to him since moving so far away. But Logan brings some very shocking news.
After the murder of their daughter Bree and Logan thought the murder was paying for what he did. Then Logan finds that this may not be true. There may have been another murderer. But how could anyone else know what happened to the other women. To do things almost exactly the same way. To murder Melanie and why. What would be the motive.
This book caught me and would not let go. I throughly enjoyed listening to it. All the way from start to finish. I had a big guess. I was totally convinced that I knew who the killer was. I was so wrong. I was way off. I didn't see it coming.
The author wrote a great edge of your seat thriller with enough mystery to keep me guessing. Enough description to make me feel I was there. By the lake. In the woods. At the Inn. At the crime scene later in the story. On that desolate lonely road. I enjoyed this book so much.
I loved how the love story played out too. Though I don't think I would have been so giving to Logan. I adored Bree's new partner Bas. He was perfect for her. And so understanding. They were perfect for each other. I just hope they stay that way.
Thank you NetGalley and Brillance Audio for the ARC.

About
A mother begins to challenge everything she’s been told about her daughter’s murder in a shocking novel of suspense by a New York Times bestselling author.
Ten years after her daughter, Melanie, was murdered, Bree Winter is finally moving on with a new love, a new home, and a new beginning. Then a deathbed confession from the convicted killer throws Bree’s life into a tailspin all over again. He readily confesses to murdering four girls. But not Melanie.
At first, Bree and her ex-husband don’t buy a word of it. Until inconsistencies about the crime emerge. So does the dreadful feeling that the monster who shattered Bree’s family isn’t lying. The only way she can get to the truth is to power through the trauma and return to the town in upstate New York where Melanie’s life came to a brutal end.
Bree will do anything to find justice for her daughter and finish this nightmare forever. Instead, it’s just beginning. Not only could the real killer still be in their midst, but as Bree begins to dig through Melanie’s past, what she discovers calls into question everything she has believed—about the crime and about Melanie herself.
