Resumen del Editor

No one knows what happened that morning at River Point. Five boys went hunting. Four came back. The boys won't say who fired the shot that killed their friend, Grant; the evidence shows it could have been any one of them. Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous - more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families. Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice for Grant. As she investigates with Stone - the aging prosecutor relying on Kate to see and hear what he cannot - she realizes that nothing about the case - or the boys - is what it seems. Grant wasn't who she thought he was, and neither is Stone's prime suspect.

A solid story!

I had forgotten what it felt like to read a good solid story. Since covid I have been reading a series that is dull and predictable. But I've stuck with it because I want to finish what I started. The last book had me so bored that I decided to switch it up.

I am so glad I did! This story had just the right amount of suspense and mystery to satisfy me. the characters will well-rounded and I was completely immersed in the story. I love when I cannot figure out who the killer is. It had a little bit of love and a whole lot of mystery just the way I like it. I might check out some of this author's other work.

This story is about a group of friends and one of them gets killed. Nobody is talking throw in some entitlement as it always happens to be with rich boys and a little bit of romance and you got yourself a good story.

Super Twisty / can’t put it down

Great character development and I was legitimately surprised multiple times. The narrator has a great voice and the story builds nicely.

Absolutely intriguing

Every moment of this story had me pulled in more and more! I loved the entirety of the plot, story line, characters and all the twists that came along. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

AWESOME BOOK!!!

I absolutely loved this book! Best book I have ever read for school! It was very suspenseful and it kept the reader reading!

Enjoyable Read

I really enjoyed this book. It held my attention without being outlandish. Some of the female narrator’s southern accent was a little cheesy at times, but overall it was a solidly believable and entertaining story. I look forward to listening to more books from this author.

great

perfect mystery, one of the best books I've read in a long time. great author can't wait to read more

Deep Fried Nancy Drew

This is a cute book if you can get past the suspension of disbelief issues. The writing style is good but the details leave the reader hanging. It was fun, but it had a little bit too much of
Scooby-Doo and Sweet Valley High for my taste. I half expected one of the characters to say “And I would gotten away with it I it hadn’t been for those meddling kids”
I think the narrator was trying very hard with her accent, but that is the problem that I could tell that she was trying very hard. 

You wouldn't guess the end

The story was great, and the twist and turns were interesting. Didn't care for the female narrators accent, but overall a good read.

Rewarding read, unpleasant narrators, so it’s worth listening to

I liked the story, it moved along quickly enough and held my interest. The two narrator’s fake Southern accents were just this side of unbearable. I wish people would just read books out loud, & not try to present them as some sort of Broadway play with fake, put-on regional accents. I can conjure up images and regionalist accents in my mind, all they need to do is just read the story, in my opinion. Or, if it’s important to the author that their story be read in, say, a Southern accent, then why not just hire a Southern reader?

Pretty Good

It was slow and seemed to go nowhere for a great many hours. But the end was unexpected so that's a plus.
