“Lapena is a master of manipulation.” —USA Today
The new unputdownable novel from the “queen of the one-sit read,” and New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
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?
The teenagers get their kicks telling ghost stories in the old graveyard. The parents trust their kids will arrive home safe from school. Everyone knows everyone. Curtains rarely twitch. Front doors are left unlocked.
But Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs. Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures, discovered by a local farmer.
How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly, familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia.
Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers.
Customer Reviews
Interesting but just okay
A spoiler alert!! The story was interesting with some fun twists although it was hard to believe who the killer actually was. No evidence at all throughout the story. The most troubling part to me was how Riley or Diana’s mother didn’t try to contact Diana!! I kept thinking that Riley would contact her and help pinpoint who the murderer was. Then I thought for sure there would be a sad but sweet goodbye from Diana at the end. I also was bothered by how the murderer was caught! There was no struggle, no almost killing Riley just you know he killed her then it goes to the next scene. The readers were very good and that made the story better.
What?!
I enjoyed another book by this author, and was excited to see a new one out. This was not good. Too many extraneous plots that had nothing to do with the murder, too many obvious red herrings, too many characters with plot lines that went nowhere. The big “twist” at the end had zero supporting evidence throughout the novel and was purely shock factor with no brains behind it. I can’t stand when a thriller ends with a conclusion that hasn’t had any lead up - and oops, this whole POV was a lie, and oops, this person just “snapped”. K. Lame.
Insulting.
Is America this stupid? This cannot be where our standards are. It reads like it was written by ChatGPT! Literally the WORST book I have ever read. We are doomed.
