Welcome to Litsy!

This was good enough but I doubt I'll remember it in a few weeks. Rachel finds a body while walking her dog in the woods near her house. As this is not the first body she has found- and as it did not go well for her last time- she runs back home and does not report her find but the police quickly tie her to the murder. We alternate between this events and the previous murders. Between a pick and a so-so.

Three stars because I finished it and it had a good premise but the execution was meh. I listened at 2x speed and thought the narrator was a missmatch, she was good but not for this book.

3.75 stars- I had figured out the murder in present-day pretty early on, but the past murders I didn't figure out. I liked the parallels to true crime stories. As well as the criticism of the racism in the US justice system. It was overall a good book, but not spectacular. Another great narrator!

Rachel finds a body in the woods and is considered a prime suspect because the victim is identified as her boyfriend's estranged wife. 20 years ago, Rachel was Casey, a young nanny trying to make it as an actress in Los Angeles. The family she worked for were brutally murdered and all the evidence pointed to her and she went to prison.

This is a cleverly plotted & well-written book, but I really didn't like the MC. It's written in dual timelines & both sections keep the reader fully engaged with the story, & although I did guess what had happened, it didn't detract from the reading experience. 4🌟
