5.0

I listened to this as an audiobook and FLEW through it. I didn’t want to stop listening and only did when I had to (thanks a lot, work). I loved how the format was set up as part podcast along with the past events as we are trying to piece together Savvy’s murder and how Lucy is connected to it in the present. I enjoyed being inside Lucy’s head because she has such a sarcastic sense of humor. Her grandma is AMAZING & honestly my favorite character in this book (read it to find out why). This one was super binge-able and keeps you captivated with its short chapters. 

Pick this one up if you enjoy podcast elements in books, true crime, and small town settings!
