When a family member is killed in their home, Angie and David Sheehan’s life as they know it is over. Desperate for help, they seek the legal help of Angie’s first love, now a criminal defense attorney. 

This is the type of book that is best when gone into blind, so I was hesitant to include even my short little synopsis. As soon as I saw a friend’s rave review, I knew I needed to read it. I am just completely blown away that this is a debut novel. While not a thriller, but a story more in the vein of Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, there are moments of high intensity. I found myself reading as fast as I could, desperate to know what the outcome would be. While it wasn’t surprising, it was still shocking nonetheless as is the story as a whole. 

🎧 The audiobook really amps up the emotional ante of this one. Therese Plummer holds nothing back in her narration of this powerful novel. If you are an audiobook fan, definitely check this one out on audio.
