I love the way this book is set up. It tells the same story 5 times, from 5 POVs, in very different ways. 

The book highlights the trouble of living in a tight-knit community as well as the issues many detectives can face while investigating a crime. The biggest issue being that the characters all have redeeming qualities that make it hard to believe any of them could be a killer. So, who do you trust? Who do you believe? Who do you turn to when you need help but everyone is guilty of something? 

The only negative I found in the book was at the very beginning when all the characters were introduced in quick succession. It wasn't until chapter six that I was able to place everyone without hesitation. 

I do highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery/suspense or likes to let their inner sleuth shine. 

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
