My thoughts on the book
First off like always I want to say a huge thank you to the publisher Bookouture , the author Amy Sheppard , as well as to NetGalley for letting me read and review it .What I liked about this book was that the two main characters had a true crime podcast that covering lesser-known small town murders. , an that it showed how much goes in to doing one , Other thing I liked was how it showed the inter action of the characters and while I wanted to feel sorry for the girl that got murder , the more I read the more I started to dislike her, plus there was a lot of reason as to why someone would want her dead , in fact there seemed to be a lot of reasons, secrets as well . The story itself had interesting plot twists through out it and I do say that even though the story does have a bit of a slow start to build on the history of the murder it actually helps bring it more to live .
Book Description:
We were all at the party. Which of us wanted her dead?As the smoke from the bonfire spirals into the night sky and the cool drinks slip down our throats, none of us can take our eyes off Lacey. She dances in the dunes, her long golden hair damp from her late-night swim, her smile dazzling, her blue eyes closed.Everyone who is close to Lacey sits by the smoky fire. Her adoring boyfriend, who holds onto her, perhaps a little too tightly. Her little sister, always in Lacey’s shadow, sifting fine soft sand through her fingers, never taking her eyes off Lacey. And me. Sad and full of rage, after an argument forced the man I love to leave the party early.When the fire burns out, we stumble away from the beach, along the cliff path – faces burned by the wind, hearts full of secrets. But Lacey never makes it home. The next morning, her body is found in the sand dunes, a heart-shaped locket missing from around her neck.Who would have thought our beach party could end the way it did? Close friends gathered on the last night of a long hot summer – which one of us could have killed the girl everybody loved?An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with an ending you will NEVER see coming! Strap in for a twisty rollercoaster ride that will keep you turning pages all night long. Perfect for anyone who adored The Holiday, The Guest List or Gone Girl.
