This book had me hooked right from the beginning, it’s such a page turner! 
Fast-paced, short chapter, easy to read and great writing style makes this police procedural murder mystery book hard to put down! 
 
The multiple POVs is a great touch to the story, readers will be able to see from the investigation view, from the media and public view as well as the people who were involved in the missing girl and boy in 1976. 
 
This story has secrets darker and crueler which left me absolutely shocked and in disbelief after learning the truth. There’s one particular twist that blows my mind because it never crossed my mind when I was making theories about what happened the night two teenagers went missing. 
 
I felt so bad for what happened to the victims and I’m surprised to know that their bones can ‘speak’ the truth which bring closure to their loved ones as well as justice to the ones responsible. 
That brings me to one of the most intriguing aspect from this story; human bones can tell a lot about a particular person - whether they’re healthy or sick, their gender, their age, etc. 
 
Overall, this is a thrilling well written story that comes with a mind-blowing twist and satisfying ending. 
I’ll definitely look forward to read more books from this author in the future – I wish this one becomes a series though cause I’d like to see more of Det. Jane! 
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
