A murder, a dysfunctional family full of secrets, a disappearance at the family owned camp….loved this one. I read it in 2 days, just kept wanting to read….and THAT is my idea of a great time. Thanks Liz Moore.

JoeMo @AmyG I‘m glad to learn he saw them at the Sphere….the Sphere may be the least fitting venue for the band in some ways…but, I mean come on, I can hear the sales pitch now: “Bill have you ever wondered what it would be like to see the Dead In the 23rd century?” Five minutes later his flight and hotel would be booked! 😂 2mo
