I love when I discovered new to me writers and their novels. The latest is this grasping detective investigation that held my attention till the last page.

This was my first book in the series, but it could be easily read as a standalone as we get a good understanding of the main character's past.

A teenage girl is found dead and her sister has gone missing after both of them attending a funfair in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The setting is really interesting to read about as usually we get more big cities plots, so this was a refreshing idea for me.

The investigation will bring out a few hidden secrets from this community and the interactions were interesting to read. The main character has a great relationship with her team and my understanding is that one of them is not always present for all the books, but it’s a big part of the story.

It’s suspenseful at times and had a lot of turns where I thought I knew where this is going to end. A perfect read for many readers of the genre.

That ending surely was very unexpected and left a huge opening for the next instalment.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy though NetGalley.
