The group is an interesting one with distinct, flawed, interesting and flawed individuals. They have a common goal and do their best to get to the bottom of things.
I found this book to be enjoyable, intriguing, and well thought out. My one main issue is that it does lag in the middle. I feel a little editing could have benefitted the book a bit. Having said that, I enjoyed the twists, reveals, the sense of danger and suspense toward the end of the book.
If the setting Delphine, Idaho and the killing of the college women rings a bell, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, were murdered and their real like murders have been dubbed the “Delphi murders” This book may feel to close and too soon for some and several reviewers have voiced this in their reviews.
Overall, an enjoyable book about online sleuths hunting for a killer. As with her other books, this book was well written, well thought out, thought provoking, and tense.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Landmark and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
