When a family is found dead in a remote farmhouse, a young police officer discovers them and finds himself part of the investigation team. There is a claustrophobic small-town ethos that holds betrayal, deceit, and dark secrets. It's a multi-point-of-view story that gives the reader an omniscient view of events. Despite this, the reader knows that some narrators are unreliable. The multilayered story features a mystical twist and a compelling, immersive investigation. Although it appears transparent, there are areas of opacity that lead to surprising false leads and plot twists. I enjoyed the atmospheric setting, the complex characters and the immersive but twisty narrative.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.
