The two-paragraph version: Chloe's father confessed to murdering six teenaged girls when she was 12. Chloe was the one who found the evidence that linked him to the murder in his closet and turned it over to the police. Now, 20 years later, two more teenaged girls have been found dead. Chloe starts to suspect that her fiancée Daniel is a copycat killer since he also had a sister who disappeared under mysterious circumstances 20 years ago.
I was confused in tge end too. It was her wedding day and she returned the ring to the sister – yet Daniel was at the sister’s house? So it wasn’t in fact her wedding day, but what was meant to be her wedding day? No casting details have been released yet. It’s not clear yet whether Emma Stone will be starring in the series in addition to producing the series. On one hand, I really disliked the narrator. She was seemingly super unreliable at times and she made what I thought were really, really stupid decisions. All the time. Like the quintessential TSTL ("too stupid too live") female bane of the stereotypical romance novel. The culprit was a little foreseeable but most of the twists and big revelations were well constructed. There are some untied loose ends but overall it was gripping, well written, heart throbbing, engaging story makes you sit on the edge, giving you creeps, keeping your attention intact!
Book Excerpt
All in all, a super solid debut that answered most of the questions I had. I expected some plot holes, but those gaps were filled. This story is full of twists, turns, and red herrings. Chloe has tried to keep a damper on her feelings and fears and doing so is going to destroy her if her use of drugs and alcohol doesn't do it first. She has let her paranoia go too far before and she's not sure who she can trust. This all leads to bad decisions, faulty assumptions, and a sense of more danger and death to come, with no way to stop it. The story is riveting although it's hard to put aside the fact that a drugged and drunken main character can only be trusted so far. Before turning to fiction, she was a copywriter and brand strategist for various marketing agencies. She earned her B.A. in magazine journalism from the University of Georgia and M.F.A. in writing from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Chloe Davis is a damaged woman. She was only 12 years old when her father was convicted as a serial killer!! The girls murdered were girls she knew, girls from her small town. Chloe had found damaging evidence. Her father is in prison. There are many ways to find out whether a person is emotionally unstable. The author is sharing a few of them in this book.
People were suspicious of her Mom, that she possibly knew something she didn't reveal. It wasn't a good situation. Traumatic to say the least. That alone is stressful enough, but when local teen girls begin to go missing, one of them a patient of Chloe's, she's triggered into a really dark place; her past. Very few debuts are as insightful, cunningly plotted and well written as this.’ The Sunday Times Best Thrillers of 2022 I've read plenty of serial killer stories from the perspective of investigators, the victims and their families, and regular townspeople, but I'm not sure I've ever read one from the killer's own daughter. And coming at it from that angle makes this story feel fresh and unusual. Chloe still suffers from the fallout of her childhood, and her narrative envelopes the whole story in her dark and foreboding mood.Twenty years ago, Chloe's father was sent to prison for kidnapping and presumably murdering six young girls, although their bodies were never found. Chloe's life is secure and stable now--she's engaged to Daniel and has a fulfilling job as a psychologist. However, her demons lurk just below the surface, and when first one, then another young girl turn up missing, she feels as if her life is repeating itself again. The missing girls have connections to Chloe--is it the work of a copycat? Can she help find who is doing this? The pattern of the current crimes isn't just similar to that of her father's, it's identical. Is there a copycat working in Baton Rouge? SHE SLEEPS WITH THE FAKE REPORTER MURDERER. God! Was the choking the day before not enough? Also, there was chocolate on a pillow at a Motel 6? Laugh out loud. This is like Blair from "Gossip Girl" trying to write "poor." I was super anxious while reading this. I’ve never had so many guesses for how a book was going to end. Some of my guesses ended up being right, and that is why I’m being a bit petty with the extra .5. I personally like my mysteries to be completely unpredictable. Is that too much to ask? It probably is, but I can’t help what I want. It was still an amazing book because I kept switching my guesses. So what I’m saying is, some reveals were kinda obvious but also not really. Don’t ask me to explain. It came to a point I just kept internally screaming “I need answers, now!” Daniel also admits to visiting Chloe's father Richard n prison, since there were parts of the story that didn't line up for him. In doing so, he learned that Richard wasn't the killer.
