This is small town horror with a tinge of crime.
Our main character and her husband are exceedingly flawed, barely living through extreme grief, and so busy hurting each other that they can’t see what’s happening to their children.

I loved every page of this and can’t wait to read something else from the author!

Baldacci is telling a story of heartbreak, complexity, and history that not only exposes the racism of the past, but the still relevant challenges of today.

This is a super fast and intense read that barely lets you come up for air.
