In 2009, after Krissy confided in Jodie that she had been the one to stage January’s death as a murder, Krissy says she’s going to tell Dave the truth. Furthermore, January get knocked down the stairs by the door, and did not know why she fell or who was responsible. Margot has moved home to Wakarusa to care for her uncle who has been struck down with early onset dementia. Very disappointed in this one, not sure I'd be willing to give Ashley Flowers another chance after this.

Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the case of January Jacobs, who was found dead in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Jodie thinks Dave/Luke did it, because Krissy died right after telling him he was the father of the twins. So, so gripping and twisty, I honestly couldn’t put it down’ LISA HALL, bestselling author of THE PARTY. The ending was a tad (really enormously) ridiculous and made the story even more convoluted that added a large question mark as to the mystery's solution. And I’m pretty sure there would admissibility issues for evidence that was discovered as part of a break in.Now - another girl taken, a new haunting message on a wall, clandestine warnings - all pulling Margot deeper into the story. He can’t tell Margot that he was actually January and Jace’s father OR that he told Billy this on the day January died.

Speaking of the end, it’s the only part of the book I didn’t love, as there were loose ends I didn’t feel were tied up (and I love when everything is tied up neatly!Is he just a psychopath who cold-bloodedly kills two (or three) people over something that clearly could have been interpreted as an accident? I think January’s fall down the stairs would have been seen as a tragic accident, due to sleepwalking or slippery stairs. Because we don’t compare the two cases, past and present throughout the narrative, I didn’t feel any sense of TENSION, like I usually do with CRIME FICTION. But after what happened to January, WHY did Dave/Luke never say anything about this to Krissy or the police or anyone? And where I could forgive all of that and still say this was a halfway decent first book attempt, what I can't get past is the non-ending.

Overall I thought it was entertaining and I think Ashley is a good story teller, but there were some pretty glaring contrivances. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, and become a big-city journalist, but she’s always been haunted by the fear that it could’ve been her. After dropping his little 2009 truth bomb on Billy, and then learning that January was dead, Dave/Luke must have wondered if the two things were connected! The unsolved murder of the main characters childhood neighbor in 1994 and the disappearance of another little girl two decades later. But if you’re a Crime Junkie (or mystery fan) who has read the book, you know that Ashley and Brit always have a LOT of questions.Written in a dual timeline narrative, it gives us the 1994 disappearance of a six year old girl and a similar disappearance twenty years later. On the night of January’s murder, Dave told Billy that he was the twins’ father, sending Billy into the rage that would lead to January’s death. Maybe the podcast recently covered the Jon Benet Ramsay murder because the first third of the book is almost identical to the details of that crime. True crime and podcast elements, tight knitted- conservative- nosy small town theme and two girls’ brutal murder investigations collide the past tragedies into present kind of intriguing plot line: were the strengths of this story!
