About this listen
She left home as the local pariah at twenty-two, but when a family tragedy brings her back, she must confront her tortured past—and a new danger in town that no one seems to understand but her.
After years of self-exile, Jacinda “Jac” Brodie is back in Brook Haven, South Carolina. But the small cliffside town no longer feels like home. Jac hasn’t been there since the beloved chief of police fell to his death—and all the whispers said she was to blame.
That chief was Jac’s father.
Racked with guilt, Jac left town with no plans to return. But when her granddad lands in the hospital, she rushes back to her family, bracing herself to confront the past.
Brook Haven feels different now. Wealthy newcomer Faye Arden has transformed the notorious Moor Manor into a quaint country inn. Jac’s convinced something sinister lurks beneath Faye’s perfect exterior, yet the whole town fawns over their charismatic new benefactor. And when Jac discovers one of her granddad’s prized possessions in Faye’s office, she knows she has to be right.
But as Jac continues to dig, she stumbles upon dangerous truths that hit too close to home. With not only her life but also her family’s safety on the line, Jac discovers that maybe some secrets are better left buried.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

Story
Amy Nicols (Lizzy Caplan) was an FBI agent with a dogged need to protect everyone—until that instinct caused her to mishandle a crisis, lose innocent lives, and lose her job. Now a civilian working in private security, that mistake still haunts her. One morning on the commuter train, she overhears a young couple plotting a murder. Ignoring warnings from her family and friends, Amy’s instinct to protect and serve compels her to investigate. But the further she goes, the more she finds her own life in danger.

I couldn't put it down!!!
Jacinda "Jac" Brodie can't seem to catch a break. Everywhere she goes, trouble seems to follow. Will it ever get better for her, or will there always be a heavy downpour of a dark cloud hovering over her life?
I loved this book, from Jac's thoughts playing out in her mind to the actual events playing out before her very eyes.
I'm not giving anything away apart from what the author has already said about this book. However, I will say, ignore the bad reviews and read this book for yourself. It's really good!

Had potential
3.5 I really enjoyed the book about half way through but it got a bit ridiculous at that point with excess drama. Maybe trying to weave together too many different plot lines? I think it just missed the mark of a winner for me.

Stick With It
This book started out with a bang for the main character Jacinda affectionately known as Jac. Admittedly, after that, the first 25% dragged a bit and had some repetitive internal narrative thoughts. However, as the story opens up in the town of Brookhaven with a cast of characters who all seem to hold secrets, the reveals begin to spill out and you must strap in! The rollercoaster of suspense and thriller careens through a set of twists and turns that leave you holding on to your seat and clutching invisible pearls. Great writing! Great narration!

Give Jac time to understand her situation. She’s a smart woman, but she definitely is a hot head and misses the big picture at times. I loved reading through her experience, and the murder mysteries were an interesting addition.

Jac
Jack was very annoying. However, I somewhat understand why she did the things she did to her boyfriend, but the book was very predictable except for the one thing that I thought that one person did it they didn’t do it, but they still wind up doing something bad. I don’t know everything was very predictable for me, but I’m glad I stuck it through and finish the book.
