Three estranged siblings (Beth, Nicole, Michael) reunite at their childhood home after the death of their mother. As they go through her belongings, they find a box of home videos. How wonderful to be able to look back in time, to see their family happy and all together. But then one of the videotapes shows something disturbing – their father with blood on his clothing and their parents making a pact to get rid of the body! Holy Crap! Reeling with shock, they want answers!

What happened all those years ago? Did one or both of their parents kill someone? Was the body they were talking about getting rid of Emma, the girl who went missing and was never found? What should they do? How many secrets did their parents have?

This book proved to be a fast, riveting and gripping read. The mystery of a missing girl and what their parents may or may not have done was enticing. Like the siblings, I wanted answers and kept turning the pages to find out!

I enjoyed learning about the characters and the struggles they had in their lives. There is a lot of tension and testy exchanges between them. I enjoyed how authentic this felt. I also enjoyed that we got the POV of each of them. As they began to delve deeper into their mother’s belongings, they had a lot of questions. As they began to slowly pull back the layers of family secrets, the tension and suspense began to mount!

This book played out like a movie in my mind as I read. I enjoyed the mystery and have to say that I did not figure out whodunit. I love it when that happens. Jeneva Rose delivered a strong, captivating, well written, and dramatic mystery!
