Unexpected twists!

Loved the chemistry of Sloane and Grant. Want to learn more of their story, before and after this time. Love stories that leave me wanting more and sad they’re coming to an end.

she came, she saw, she disturbed

First Mary Burton story & I have to say, I had a good time.
Felt like a long NCIS or Criminal Minds episode.

I did not like the first couple of chapters once it was Solan's pov, I was set for the long haul.

I think the story structure of flipping back and forth through the timeline was interesting and kept me engaged & the romance was a subplot if even that & I'm glad it didn't take center stage.

I'm looking forward to her other work if this is any indication of her quality.

My 2025 5 star

Love!!! Kept you guessing! Well written chapters moved fast. It does go between two different time periods.

I was disappointed

4 women disappear at a outdoor concert ,30 years later the daughter of one of the victims comes to this rural country venue and area to find out what happened. I was interested and engaged but the ending ruined the whole read for me . The ending was too loss and crazy . When you found out what happened was just so over the top. The police in this town are ridiculous that they couldn’t find the answers and it just ended in an over the top eye roll . Was looking forward to this read and was bummed by the ending

Captivating!

First time reading this author. I absolutely love the narrator, so it was an easy decision for me. I had an inkling of who had done it but I was wrong. The ending is perfect to me. The main character was a steady force… she didn’t just all of a sudden change her mind and her attitude. She was who she was without apologies, and I loved her for it. If you are into mystery or need a palate cleanser, you’ll enjoy this.
