Synopsis

Every small town has a dark past. Kate is learning that this town's dark past involves her family.

Fifteen-year-old Kate didn't want to be dragged into her mother's past. She had a boyfriend, a life, and a future as an online influencer whose urban exploration videos were growing in popularity.

But here she is, in the place she thinks of as "Hicksville," and she's getting to know far more about the town than she ever wanted. After she and her new friend Zach make a ghastly discovery in a local crevasse, she finds herself investigating a decades-old mystery that has haunted the community . . . and her family. People from her mother's past—and her own—resurface as Kate and Zach uncover secrets that could rewrite history.

Goodreads review by Alanna on August 07, 2024

I found it very compelling between pages 50 to the end only because the novel's complexity requires a lot of exposition for clarity. The mystery setup requires a lot of back story as the 2 young detectives need to find a way to meet and start finding secrets but I was hooked from the moment they fin......more
