I could not put this book down! I read the whole thing in one day, I was transported so quickly into the world of the story.
We follow Ben, a former police officer turned private detective, who is asked to investigate a missing person. Assuming there will be an innocent explanation he begins his investigation before being forced into proximity with his college-boyfriend-turned-rockstar.

While I’m not always a thriller person, something about this book appealed to me, and the thriller and mystery aspect was balanced perfectly with the character-driven arc of the protagonist. That being said, I was still itching to find out what had happened to the missing woman, and everything fell into place so perfectly – it was brilliantly satisfying! Add in a slightly spooky, atmospheric small-town setting and I was sold. I can’t say much more without spoiling anything, but just know that this book keeps you gripped from the very start to the final page.
I can’t wait to find out what happens next to Ben and Jesse, and to delve further into Ben’s story!
