She Left by Stacie Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Therese was the "lucky" one: she left her friends' Memorial Day party minutes before they were killed in what became an infamous crime. But suspicion has followed her for her entire life, and now, 20 years later, she receives an invitation to a weekend getaway from a journalist looking to interview people for a new look back on the events. Therese hopes to finally set the record straight, but it quickly becomes clear that this weekend will turn out to be another fight for survival.
This book was a twisted thriller, with two interesting mysteries along the two timelines, though the book only tells the story in the present day. There's a wide variety of characters who all have different roles/relationships to the original crime and sone big personalities. This kept things really fresh and left me feeling like anything could happen. I didn't really know what was going to happen next or who the "bad guy" was until the reveal.
The solution was quite good. As I said, I didn't see it coming, although you could say that all the clues were there. And both mysteries get a satisfying ending, so there's no loose ends to tie up. I liked that after a couple books with some open endings. It was nice to just have everything tied up with a bow.
Therese was a great character and I would like to see her in her FBI role again in another book. I think that would be really cool.
If you like locked room mysteries with some good twists and interesting characters. Pick this one up.
