Goodreads review by Heather ~*dread mushrooms*~ on June 25, 2023

I liked that it basically......more


Quotes

“In this devilishly twisty standalone…Jones reveals her characters’ secrets and motives slowly, expertly ratcheting up the pace before an explosive conclusion. This white-knuckler is not to be missed.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
