This is such a great creepy series. The scene setting is done so well and you can really picture Slayton and feel how eerie it is. The creepiness of the town definitely adds to the suspense of the crimes. I also love seeing more of the recurring characters. It was nice to see Sarah seem more sure of herself in this book and a certain development in her personal life was adorable. The case of the baby bones was heartbreaking and it just got sadder the more information was uncovered. It was written so well though. I also wasn’t expecting anything about that ending. My only criticism was the ending felt a bit rushed and it was all wrapped up so quickly. I also struggle with the obsession with Elsie’s weight and how it feels like people respect her more now that she’s losing weight. Her character is lovable and interesting without her weight constantly being mentioned.

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
