About this deal

I don’t mind an ending that leaves a bit to the imagination or one that is slightly ambiguous, but this just ends at a pivotal moment. Flowers embraces this small twisted-town spirit and runs with it in this novel with a Jon Benet Ramsey-ish nod from the 90’s.

Deftly interlocked strands of the story tantalisingly unravel as we are led to the original and unexpected conclusion.And of course all of this was AFTER Billy had come home from hanging out with Dave/Luke for who knows how long, killed his daughter, cleaned up, and gone to bed himself. Margo just happens to find the place Jace works in all of Chicago, because she remembers he likes art? this is for lovers of true crime, the JonBenet Ramsey case, quick thrillers and multiple red herrings. The girl on girl relationship for Krissy who longed to live in a big city, yet can’t tell anyone in this small town.

At the core of the company and all its podcasts, Ashley and her team are committed to developing responsible true crime content. One night, she stumbles upon a clue in the most infamous crime in her hometown’s history: the unsolved murder of six-year-old January. After dropping his little 2009 truth bomb on Billy, and then learning that January was dead, Dave/Luke must have wondered if the two things were connected! I cannot thank NetGalley, Ashley herself, and Random House Publishing Group enough for an early copy of this book for a honest review.Also, this is a nitpicky thing, but if the book said, “he hitched a shoulder” one more time, I thought I might scream! The book has a timeline that spans twenty-five years, with major events happening in 1994, 2009 and 2019. Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this story publishing in November. Since first airing in 2017, Crime Junkie has quickly become one of the most popular podcasts (in all categories) available, and with over 34 million monthly listens and 10 million unique listeners each month, has established Ashley's status as a go-to source for those looking for a forensic fix.

The author did capture the small town atmosphere, but the mystery itself was a replay of the Jon Benet Ramsey case.Perhaps it depends on which characters we are rooting for – and, if we are satisfied with the outcome. There is lots of TELLING to fill you in on the background of the January Jacobs case and plenty of interviews in the present day, similar to how a podcast unfolds. As a reporter, Margot goes off on a mission to interview people and find who may be connected to these child killings. I love crime junkie podcast, but can easily pick up on her “cliche wokeness” that is subtly injected.

And the deeper Margot digs into Natalie’s disappearance, the more resistance she encounters, and the colder January’s case feels. I mean, I guess Krissy had taken a sleeping pill, but the sound of the etch a sketch woke her up but not the slamming of the door and the sound of her daughter falling down the stairs? There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. First off, I had the same questions thoughts as most of you; all of the answers are peeled back so that we get to see what happened in a play-by-play, but when it comes to the main character, Margot, it’s like, “And you’ll just have to guess at what happened to her…” What? Another bug bear for me in this novel was the sheer amount of times that Margot felt guilty over leaving her uncle with his condition.

Jodie thinks Dave/Luke did it, because Krissy died right after telling him he was the father of the twins. Hmm…semi-satisfying -I was so close to love this book but that abrupt ending gave me second thoughts- review is coming up! Apparently, the author has a podcast (that I’ve never listened to), but I plan on catching up on it since I am a fan of true crime!
