Happy publication day to Charlie Donlea! This was a Traveling Sisters group read and we definitely all enjoyed this fabulous book.
Just when you think that all new avenues of thrillers have been exhausted, an author comes out with a new format and blows it out of the water.
This was a super entertaining whodunnit centered around a cold case which is being reopened for a documentary in the likes of Serial.
This book gave me major Amanda Knox/Dangerous Girls vibes - these are all fascinating crime stories and the curiosity will definitely peak your interest in this case as well - what really happened? Is she really guilty? Are the forensics accurate?
The author took some bold moves in his plotting (which I will not mention because, spoilers!) and I have to applaud him. Other readers in our group also loved how he tied in characters from some of his other works, it's always fun when favorite characters make a reappearance. This is my first book by Donlea, but I will certainly be back for more after reading this fabulous, twisty tale!
Thanks for a fun group read, Traveling Sisters! 4.5 stars
Thank you to Charlie Donlea and Kensington for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Sounds as if this was a party read more than group one, ha! Nice review, I appreciated your thoughts about the plotting.

Ha, yep there were quite a lot of us in this read, it was a fun one to speculate about!
