This book centers around Saffron, a soon-to-be mom, and her boyfriend Thomas, who stumble upon two bodies while fixing up a house she inherited from her grandmother, Rose. What starts as a simple home improvement project turns into a full-blown mystery, complicated by the fact that Rose, now in a memory care unit, suffers from dementia. With her grandmother's memory fading and her own mother out of the picture since she was a child, Saffron faces the challenge of piecing together a dark past that has been buried for years.

At first, the book starts out a bit slow. There are many characters and timelines introduced, which might make the beginning feel a little overwhelming. The author spends time setting the stage for what’s to come, and while it takes a bit to get going, once it does, the twists and turns are pretty wild. The mystery is solid, and the big twist is one I didn’t see coming.
