⬗ While I didn‘t buy into that twist of an ending, I was fully engaged with everything that led up to it.
⬗ The narration was interestingly produced in that January LaVoy did all the characters except two key voices. I‘m not sure why they did it that way. If you‘ve listened to the audio of this book, then you‘ll know what I mean—IFYKYK.

In a small town in Vermont, a young girl is found dead in a field. With a plethora of characters to sift through the suspect list is long. Even with a lot of characters this was still an enjoyable read. I didn‘t figure it out till towards the end but than again I was sleep deprived working a 36 hour shift through Hurricane Milton so that doesn‘t say much. I was looking for a story to kill time and this delivered!

My first Shari Lapena and it won‘t be my last! Very accurate depiction of how SA allegations are many times improperly handled in society (nothing graphic), and shows how many ways a human can be a monster, even if they aren‘t a killer. Recommend this for anyone who enjoys small town mysteries full of secrets covered up and murderers hiding in plain sight. 4⭐️s
TLDR: a farmer finds a dead girl in his field and there are several suspects.

This book was told from so many different perspectives that it was a challenge to keep up with, but it was a really well plotted mystery. There's a line in the book about living to be old enough to be safe from men. That resonated with me. The victim was a teenage girl, and that was hard to take, but it brought up a lot of valid points.

A teen girl is found dead and we quickly learn that all the likely suspects are lying, creating a taut, propulsive story that frequently switches perspective, adding depth. I really liked this, with the one quibble that I didn‘t quite buy who the killer ended up being. Which makes it a low pick for me.

This is a good book with a great storyline. My only complaint would be that I figured out who the murderer was halfway through the book.

Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont. But this morning that will change. And one innocent question could be deadly. What have you done?

There are multiple points of view, including a few of Diana‘s friends, a teacher and principal, her mother, the suspects, and Diana‘s ghost. Diana doesn‘t actually remember how she died, so it‘s a reveal for her, too. There are three main suspects and it could be any of them. It‘s a small town, so everyone is connected in some way. It didn‘t feel fast-paced, but it was fast to read, and I quite liked it.
