Skillfully woven neighborhood thriller

A young woman, Eden Perry, is murdered in Emerson, an affluent Massachusetts suburb. An investigation is launched, and it is discovered that three local teenagers were with her the night of her death, all claiming to have left when she was alive. The story alternates between multiple points of view which really enhanced plot development and built tension. The skillfully woven plot made for a book that was gripping and impossible to put down. The characters were realistic, well-developed and in some cases highly sympathetic. Prejudices are revealed, hidden motives and dark secrets come to light. The themes explored were of privilege, wealth, influence, racism, social media, grief, addiction and misogyny. This fast-paced thriller is well written and has a lot of depth and insight. I absolutely devoured it but felt that the ending was abrupt and needed more elaboration. Thank you to Celadon Books for a copy to review. @CeladonBooks #CeladonReads #LocustLaneBook #partner
