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.
Kate Bender is a self-professed medium who helps her family run the small, broken down Bender Inn, a rest stop for travelers. But they make money another way as well, a dark and terrible choice they have willingly made, and it is this that begins to catch up with them.
This book was highly intriguing from the very start, a fictionalized version of a true crime story. I had actually just read a nonfiction book on the Benders, the family at the center of this story, and was really curious how Bruce would handle the source material.
I think Bruce did an excellent job creating a gripping read, a book that managed to be suspenseful even when one knows how (most) of the story works out going in. Even having just read a nonfiction account of the events, I was engrossed in reading what happened next. I would definitely recommend this book, and will absolutely be reading Bruce's previous book as well.
