The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St. James
5.0

An unsolved murder from the 1970's meets a true crime blogger with her own shadowy past... basically a recipe for me loving a book. Add in a creepy old mansion on near a cliff and it's perfect for spooky season. I really enjoyed the flipping in POVs, it felt like a cliffhanger in the best way each time we switched narrators. Throughout the book, you never know who you can trust or if anything you're hearing is even real. It's unreliable narrators to the extreme, but it all wraps up so nicely. I loved the narrators for this too, the thrill of the mystery coming through in their voices. I'm now firmly in the camp that all of Simone St. James books should be enjoyed on audio (though you may end up grabbing the book towards the end because HOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT)
