It's been 22 years since Claire lost her sister Natalie when she was 11. She has since become an investigative journalist but never got over the trauma, especially since Natalie's body was never found. After losing her job, she gets a call from her father to return home to care for her estranged mother, but her mother doesn't want her help. Left adrift with nothing to do, Claire starts going through old pictures and visiting old memories, like the Galloway Farm, the last place Natalie was truly happy. While there, Claire's offered a job and shortly after starting, she finds the owner's old diary and her curiosity won't let it go. The further she reads the more secrets she discovers and she starts to suspect she may finally find the truth.
This is a slow burn thriller with clues sprinkled throughout, some more obvious than others. I enjoyed the southern vibes and the tense atmosphere. This author writes a slower paced thriller than assume, but I speciation her writing style. I look forward to her next.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
