Wendy Walker has done it again! Another gripping, psychological thriller that had me fully invested wanting to know whodunit in this shocking murder mystery set in a small town full of secrets and interesting people.
Charlie Hudson, an autistic 17-year-old has been accepted to MIT and has been working hard to raise money to afford her studies. She began working at the Triple S, a local sandwich shop, at the age of fourteen. She never gets an order wrong and has a mind for numbers. Her co-workers are like family to her, and she enjoys working with them. Her boss Clay Cooper employs most of the town in various businesses. He is respected and feared by those who rely on him for their income.
When Clay Cooper is found dead, the employees at the Triple S become suspects. Charlie finds herself at the heart of the investigation and does her best to protect herself and her coworkers.
I enjoyed Charlie and her “rules”. She is extremely likeable, and I enjoyed her POV, her desire to protect those in her life, and her relationships with others.
What happened the night Clay was killed? Charlie is keeping mum on what she knows but is willing to do what she can to find out who killed her employer? As Charlie searches for answers, the tension mounts, secrets begin to be revealed, people will show their true colors and the sense of danger will intensify.
There are a few twists and turns and a few reveals along the way.
Overall, a very enjoyable psychological thriller and I look forward to reading more books by Walker.
Gripping, well written, and tense.
