The decades-old disappearance of 21-year-old teaching student Deirdre Duncan is the holy grail for true crime buffs—and Skylar Brennan, the host of the Ugly Town podcast, is no exception. In fact, on the mean streets of the internet, he’s considered an expert on the case. But in law enforcement circles, he’s viewed as just another crackpot internet sleuth.
Every February, the remote New Hampshire village of Woodlark is the site of a candlelight vigil for Deirdre. Family, friends, and “supporters” of the long missing girl gather at the spot where she was last seen. This is Skylar’s first vigil, and his fans are excited, but maybe not as excited as the person who’s been anonymously emailing him coordinates to what this poison pen pal claims is Deirdre’s grave.

I feel like its hard to do much in the way of character depth with what I would deem a "novella", and at just over 3.5 hours, these characters felt a little flat. The story was interesting enough and I was entertained, but it's not one of my favorite Lanyon books - I feel like it needs to be fleshed out abit more and the ending was a little abrupt.
🎧 Narrator comment: Kale Williams has done a good performance of this book. He suits the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. Overall an enjoyable performance.

The story was fairly short so there wasn't much time to get to know the main characters let alone the side characters, but I felt like I knew many of them well enough. I appreciated the slight connection to Lanyon's other series. I do enjoy hunting for Easter eggs.
I don't consider myself a true crime enthusiast, but I am familiar enough with the genre to appreciate how well this story was constructed. Maintaining an objective perspective while writing crime stories is exceedingly difficult, but this fictional story does a great job of showing why objectivity is important.
The mysterious setting was masterfully constructed, the misdirection was elegant, the characters were engaging, the romance fit beautifully into the plot, and the resolution was excellent. If you want an excellent romantic mystery to read by the fireplace one evening in your vacation cabin in the woods this is a good pick.
Great story. Great narration.

This novella is set in the same universe as Lanyon's Art of Murder series, which I love, and the two main characters in that series are referenced briefly in this story.
Great addition to the Art of Murder universe

Not only is the story narrated by Kale Williams, one of my favorites, but it connects with another of Lanyon's book series which I appreciate.
The story itself works great as a stand alone, and the premise and characters are interesting. As a true crime fan myself I appreciated the nod to both sides of the coin so to speak, law enforcement and the true crime detective both. I also like the chemistry between our lovers.
If younhave time for a short listen, give this one a go!
A thrilling little story
