The police think Krissy died by suicide based on the note she left (which was actually part of a letter to Jase.)
All this aside, the storyline was captivating enough that it kept me going. Ashley always has been a good storyteller. I just didn’t buy the story in the end. To me, it was a lot more believable that the Wallace guy had done it. Having Billy be the killer seemed like it was just a tactic to catch the reader off-guard– a gotcha moment. I would rather have had Wallace be January’s killer and Billy be Krissy’s. Really, I would have believed almost any motive for Billy to kill Krissy– he found out he wasn’t the father of Jase and January, he believed her to be January’s killer all those years and then just snapped, he found out that she was having an affair with a woman–except for the one that was given.

As for the Natalie Clark case, it was clever of the book to suggest that the killer could be the same person, though I wondered why there would have been a twenty-year gaps in the killer’s crimes (this was explained in the book).
Fantastic audiobook! And that ending though, I'm glad to have finally got the surprise view at the epilogue but what happened to Margo?? I'm thinking there will be a sequel coming because that ending seems to leave at a cliffhanger. Hope so. Fingers crossed, otherwise I don't like what it looks like because Margo seems to be a fighter in this story. When people said no or too difficult, she pushed forward. That being said, I did enjoyed Margo's point of view as well as Chrissy. I also liked many twists in this story. The death of January, a little girl who danced and dressed up in costumes that some people thought she wore too much makeup for a little girl and where she was found reminds me about the JonBenet case. Another girl has disappeared and only reporter Margot Davies sees a connection. 20 years prior, her childhood friend January was taken and murdered. Now - another girl taken, a new haunting message on a wall, clandestine warnings - all pulling Margot deeper into the story. But Margot has problems - she’s losing everything, including her uncle with early dementia and she keeps seeing a strange red-haired woman everywhere, all while Margot is side-eyeing everyone she knows from this small town, including those closest to her. Jase found January’s body. Krissy found Jace standing over his sister’s body and thought he killed January, so she staged the scene and moved the body. Twenty-five years ago, January Jacob’s parents awoke to find their daughter’s bed empty, a horrifying message spray-painted onto their wall. Hours later, January’s body was found discarded in a ditch. Her murder was never solved. But the town remembers.
Success!
Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the case of January Jacobs, who was found dead in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Margot Davies was six at the time, the same age as January—and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, and become a big-city journalist, but she’s always been haunted by the fear that it could’ve been her. And the worst part is, January’s killer has never been brought to justice. My brother may not be perfect and he can be an easy scapegoat for people because he’s different, but he’s not a killer. I promise you that.” The January Jones case is awfully similar to the Jon Benet Ramsey case in so many ways that even the super fans were disappointed by it. I wont go into it… but the parallels are glaringly obvious. 🙄
Great Deal
