Thomas carefully crafts the suspense, leaving present-tense narrator Tessa—and readers—to doubt even those she loves the most…An unsettling story of loss, lies, and violence lurking in the shadows of a small town.” — Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"On the heels of Making a Murderer and The Jinx comes a psychological thriller
strongly rooted in the true-crime tradition...
Expertly plotted with plenty of twists and turns—never mind a truly shocking conclusion—this
gritty thriller is sure to find a wide audience among teens and adults alike. Equally concerned with a quest for the truth and the powerful motivation of guilt, this compelling novel won’t linger on the shelf." — Booklist, Starred review
★
"Thomas
keeps it real with a jaded heroine from the have-nots societal segment who holds onto her humanity, and a frank illustration of
failure in the justice system. Hand this one to older
teens who love dark mysteries or fans of Netflix's Making a Murderer."— Shelf Awareness, Starred review
"
Clearly drawn…[and] alive until the twisty end."— Bulletin
"Strong character development and thrilling reveals…
this novel is a sure bet."— SLJ
