Publisher's summary

Deeply buried secrets make for a disturbing family reunion in bestselling author Catherine McKenzie’s tantalizing novel of psychological suspense, named one of the Hottest Books of Summer by Goodreads.

What happened to Amanda Holmes?

Twenty years ago, she was found bludgeoned in a rowboat at the MacAllister family’s Camp Macaw. No one was ever charged with the crime.

Now, after their parents’ sudden deaths, the MacAllister siblings return to camp to read the will and decide what to do with the prime real estate the camp occupies. Ryan needs to sell. Margaux hasn’t made up her mind. Mary believes in leaving well enough alone. Kate and Liddie - the twins - have opposing views. And Sean Booth, the groundskeeper, just hopes he still has a home when all is said and done.

But it’s more complicated than a simple vote. The will stipulates that until they unravel the mystery of what happened to Amanda, they can’t settle the estate. Any one of them could have done it, and each one is holding a piece of the puzzle. Will they work together to finally discover the truth, or will their secrets finally tear the family apart?

Perdictable...nothing exciting

Predictable family drama, while it was a decent book it isn't something I would have gone out of my way to buy or to recommend

Worth the listen

Will this book change your life? Probably not, but it is a fun listen and is well executed.
It's cool how the author shifts to the perspective of multiple characters while narrating the story. I wasn't able to guess the ending by the first couple chapters, which kept me interested the whole way through.
A classic whodunit plot line with family grievances and teen drama.

Great Ride!

You will guess the ending early on, but you will guess many endings and it keeps you guessing. Great thriller.

This book was very good. I was guessing who it was til the end. I couldn’t stop listening. Definitely a book I would recommend to a mystery lover.

Read book instead of listening to Audible

I just didn't have the patience for the bickering of the siblings, I wanted a little more movement in the story. So, I switched to the Kindle version where I could control the pace. 7/23/22

slow-paced story. gruesome ending

the story is about a large family who owned and worked at a summer camp for most of their upbringing. a tragedy happened 20 years prior to the story taking place and must be solved. some of the family Dynamics were interesting but a lot of the characters were awfully whiny to me. however the mystery did keep me guessing until the end.
