Welcome to Litsy!

This mystery based around a school shooting in Britain was another okay one for me. I kept putting it down for more interesting books, but I liked the incorporation of conspiracy theorists.

A man shoots up a school play killing many elementary students and a popular teacher. A young man follows a wannabe politician down a conspiracy rabbit hole while the teacher‘s daughter grieves and keeps secrets of her own.

.

Clearly this is a tough subject to read about (a primary school shooting) but it‘s more about the aftermath than the event itself.

Was Marty actually in the hall at the time - was she running to escape or was she running towards the school? And what effect will all the truthers and conspiracy theorists have on the village?

It‘s a very similar style to Girl A - quite steady with a slow reveal rather than twisty-turny edge of your seat stuff.

This is the first book I have read by Abigail dean and will certainly look out for her next book.

It starts with a school shooting and slowly over the course of the book the events of the day and also the events after unfold.

The characters come to life through the pages with little details added throughout the book which add depth.

Really good read about a town sone characters within the town and what happened on and after day one
