ABOUT THE BOOK
A perfect life, a perfect love – and a perfect murder.
Loving Frankie was easy but teenage Carol wasn’t the only woman Frankie charmed. Tired of Frankie’s cheating ways, Carol kills him and buries him in her orchard.
Forty years later Frankie’s grave will be found and Carol’s guilt revealed. As she writes her confession before they arrest her, she discovers other friends lied. The truth should free her, but their betrayal demands revenge. Will she atone for her sins and kill the innocent girl she was, or will that girl exact retribution?
MY REVIEW
This story is told with two timelines, one in the 1970s and one in 2016. We learn though the “then” chapters what has happened to Carol to get her where she is in 2016. While there is murder and mystery, I do wish it was a little bit faster paced and left out some of the unnecessary background. There were a few twists in the book that I never saw coming, and after all, that is exactly what I want in a thriller. While a lot of the characters were unlikeable, I did feel bad for Carol, especially in the beginning. She was young, naïve, and easy to manipulate. I felt bad that her friendship with Sarah ended the way that it did. Overall, a decent read if you can handle slow burn.
