This was a slow start for me but it eventually got there. The book is multi POV which I enjoyed. The book was quite easy to read. This book mentions cheating, murders, trauma, immigration, stalking, etc. At first (the first three chapters) you are introduced to “The Detective” aka Nazario, “The Pastor’s Wife” aka Millie and “The Witness” aka Esperanza. These will eventually connect and the story goes on from there. Nazario is haunted by her father’s tragic death and the fact that they had not been able to catch his killer. As the story goes on they have an idea of who the killer is, that is until the suspect becomes a victim and they have to rethink everything again. There was so much that was unexpected throughout this book but that’s the beauty of it. Esperanza throwing Millie under the bus with the cops was not expected either, homegirl could have minded her business but instead decided to yap her life away without knowing the events that led Millie to wrap her hands around her husband’s “turkey neck” LMAO. Safe to say that Millie might’ve become one of my favorite characters (despite her cheating). The woman was hilarious and she was not to be f*cked with. Final chapters were my favorite part of the book, though twists and turns were expected I did not expect any of it to go down the way it did. Finding the REAL killer was a shocker, finding out the killer fabricated and planted fake memories into someone that was mentally unstable seems cruel for no reason but I guess the killer had their reasons, to frame someone else for their crimes! Never had I thought to think of that specific person to be the culprit and that’s what I loved about this book. This is a great debut for SZ and I am so happy to have gotten the chance to ARC read for her.

If you love a good thriller with its fair share of twists and turns then I definitely recommend this book.

This is an Advanced Reader/Advanced Listener copy. Although this book was given to me as an ARC my thoughts are my own.
