WOW! This book sucked me in pretty quickly. The first things about this book that caught my eye were the cover, the description and the fact that one of the characters had the same name as me. I mean, she was a murder victim, but who is judging? Its rare to see my name around, so I was impressed. This one also takes place in my hometown of Boston, so that also caught my eye.

But once I got started reading, the details and plot were what really sucked me in and kept me guessing. Esme Foster comes back home to the Boston suburb to be closer to her family as her dad is dying when she comes home to police at her home. What we find out is that they aren’t at her home, but in the woods behind her home. Her high school best friend, Kara Cunningham, was found murdered in those woods. Rita, the detective on scene, starts to investigate all the nearby players.

Through twists and turns, we follow Rita and Kara’s journey to rediscovering their roots in this small town and navigating life with a murder on the loose. They both have self-discoveries of why they love this small town. I don’t want to give it all away because, what fun is that?

This book comes out right after Christmas so what better present than a pre-order of this book! I would absolutely definitely recommend for any and all of you who love a good detective mystery!
