Thank you @simon.audio for the gifted audiobook!

A small town on Puget Sound is rocked when the body of a beautiful and popular doctor is found dead. The sheriff’s investigation points to a murder staged as a suicide. The body was found on Elijah Leith’s property. As a young man, Elijah fled his small hometown to become a writer. After his first book received a bad review, Elijah returned home believing his writing career was over. Now there’s been a murder that is eerily similar to one in Elijah’s book. Is it a coincidence? 

I thought this was as going to be a straight up mystery or police procedural. It is, but it isn’t. It’s more literary mystery or character study than I had anticipated. Author Sarah Crouch created a very atmospheric story in this debut novel. Kaleo Griffith provides an engaging narration. I’m a more action oriented reader, but I know plenty of readers will love this slow burning, moody novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
