I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
The Book:
Miranda Rader, a police officer in a small town, is called to a horrific crime scene. But when she gets there, she discovers a newspaper clipping from fifteen years ago, all about the crime in her past she's tried her hardest to forget. As Miranda attempts to discover how her past and the murder victim's present are connected, she will be forced to confront the truth about that terrible night so many years ago.
What I Liked:
This book was extremely suspenseful. I love a story concerning secrets from the past coming into the present, and Spindler integrated the past and present really well. The flashbacks added to the suspense, and were a really important part of the plot.
I really liked the character of Miranda-she was strong, smart, and determined.
I was also really surprised by all the plot twists. I never had the story figured out, which is always a lot of fun, especially with all the mysteries I read.
Anything I Didn't Like?
While I really liked the romance, I felt the writing of it was a little cliched.
So...?
This is a quick, gripping read that will keep you in suspense and have you turning pages.
