About this listen

Lucy Abbott never pictured herself coming back to Fawn Grove, Maine. Yet after serving time in Afghanistan, then years spent as a sous chef in New York, she's realized her only hope of moving on from the past involves facing it again. But Fawn Grove has changed.

When a Muslim teenage girl is found murdered along the banks of the river, difficult memories of Lucy's time overseas come flooding back. At first glance, the tragedy looks like an honour killing. But the more Lucy learns about her old hometown, the less certain that seems.

There is menace and hostility here, clothed in neighbourly smiles and a veneer of comfort. And when another teen is found dead in a cornfield, Lucy must confront a truth more brutal than she could have imagined....

A gripping thriller which had a neat twist about half way through. A gentle start had me thinking it was going to be quite a different story to the way it turned out. Characters were, with one possible exception, a real mixture of dark and light, and the setting whilst being in Small Town America could have been any once prosperous small town now on its uppers anywhere in the developed world. Beautifully read.
