Description:  Nothing ever happens in small towns…

When Shelby Dawson survives a harrowing attack that should have left her dead, she tries to move past it—for herself, and for her family. Fifteen months later, with the help of her best friend, Mackenzie, she finally feels safe again in the snowy Minnesota town she calls home. But when an anonymous note appears on her windshield bearing the same threats her attacker made, Shelby realizes that her nightmare has only just begun.

As new evidence surfaces, and a group of well-meaning senior citizens accidentally makes the case go viral online, the situation quickly goes from bad to worse. And with suspicious accidents targeting those closest to her happening all over town, Shelby can’t shake the feeling that she’s being watched. Fighting to stay one step ahead of disaster, she finds herself asking the question on everyone’s lips: Who attacked her that night?

But Shelby isn’t the only one with questions. Mackenzie’s husband, Leo, vanished without a trace on that terrible night, and over a year later, no one knows why. Until a deep dive into his finances reveals a history of debts, mismanaged funds, and hidden accounts—one of which is still active. Their suspicion that Leo is still alive only complicates things further, though, and when another person connected to Shelby goes missing, she’s caught in a race against time before her attacker becomes a killer.

Genre: Mystery - Thriller

Why I Picked This Book:  I've heard great things about this author and have been wanting to try her books.

My Impression:  This was a page turner!  Within the first few chapters the action has already started and I was pulled in trying to figure out what is going on as the pressure on Shelby and Mack increases.  I wasn't sure how everything would play out but I couldn't wait to see what happened.

We have three POVs - Mack, Shelby, and Florence who is one of the residents at the retirement home that Shelby manages.  With Florence is a group of residents who genuinely care for Shelby and her family and desperately want to help.  Each POV adds something to the case and I enjoyed each one which doesn't always happen with multi-POV books.  

The pacing was good and really kept me hooked but one of the things that really kept me invested was that I liked most of the characters.  They aren't perfect but they feel real and are people I wouldn't mind spending time with - especially the residents of the Ole.  I'm a big fan of a mysteries where they put together an investigative team and this one had that in spades.  I enjoyed this read from beginning to end.  It was the right amount of thriller for me that had me riveted but not scared.   I'm really looking forward reading more from this author.

Would I Read More of this Series/Author?  Absolutely!  I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to read more from her.

Would I Recommend this Book?  Definitely!  I really enjoyed this one and think most mystery readers would also enjoy it.
