Determined to clear her name and uncover the truth, Peyton dives headfirst into Wallshire's quirky community, where everyone seems to have something to hide.

Edge of my seat Read
I jumped headfirst into this book, not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. The author has a way of immersing the reader right in the story. I felt like Peyton Hart myself—or, for that matter, like another innocent citizen in town curious about the outcome of this murder mystery. I’ve grown to love classic whodunits, and this one has all the elements to earn a spot on my shelf of good reads!
I have ADHD, so I tend to try to piece together the verdict before it’s even revealed. Though I had my suspicions, the way it played out caught me so off guard that I almost forgot to keep guessing!
If you want an easy read you can pick up throughout the day or before bed, I highly recommend this. By the time I hit page 270 or so, I was on the edge of my seat and determined to finish the book—and I’m so glad I did!
Interesting but not outstanding. LUsed to many repeated phrases.
One was used at least 5 times.
This cannot be a human being
Insane and repetitive, it's as though someone instructed a robot to "make every sentence as descriptive as possible. No, every sentence. Every SINGLE SENTENCE"
After dragging myself through this awful story for several hundred pages, 😄 I skipped to the end to find the killer. I see that I was not alone in this.
"The station hummed with the undercurrent of muffled conversations and ringing phones, a cacophony that seemed to part like the Red Sea".
I didn't shop for that example, it’s simply the page where I gave up. This sort of overly flowery prose is amusing for a few minutes, but surely, SURELY, no human could keep this up for an entire story. 😐
