Journalist Margot Davies returns to her small hometown of Wakarusa, Indiana to care for her sick uncle. While living there as a child, her friend and neighbor January Jones was murdered, and the case was never solved. Now, more than twenty years later, an other young girl is abducted shortly after Margot’s return. When the girl’s body is found several days later, Margot can’t shake the suspicion that this new crime is related to January’s murder. Margot’s investigation shakes up secrets, even those of her own family, on her quest to uncover what really happened to January.

For me, the mark of a good thriller is whether I can guess the ending or the plot twists. I thought I had everything figured out in this book, but the last few chapters were completely unexpected. This book had a true crime feel. The ending of the book didn’t fully resolve everything, which I know some readers don’t like but I enjoyed the lingering questions this left me with! It provided enough resolution so that major plot points are concluded and I wouldn’t consider it a cliffhanger.
