If this had been my first introduction to Jennifer McMahon's writing, I would have totally loved this book. Having just read Dismantled though (which I would consider one of the best thrillers I have read this year), I think I was a little disappointed with this one.

School Nurse, Kate Cypher, has returned to her home in rural Vermont to care for her mom who has Alzheimer's. The night she arrives, a young girl in town is murdered in a horrific murder that eerily is the same as a murder that took place during Kate's childhood to one of her friends.

The book flashes forward and through the past of these two murders, one to a social outcast named Del who is nicknamed the "potato girl" and is mistreated by her friends and family. The other murder that has taken place to another young girl in a similar way. The mystery of these two murders ends up colliding together as Kate begins to pull the pieces of these two murders together.

It is definitely a ghost story, a mystery, and a coming-of-age story that is pulled all together. Much like McMahon's other books, it is a twisted story that pulls together with a nice twist at the end.

If you haven't read McMahon before, I would recommend this one, but I definitely enjoyed Dismantled a little bit more than this one!

Sooooooo good!
This is the first book I've read by Jennifer McMahon and I doubt it's going to be the last. She was easy to read and I didn't want to put the book down. I loved the characters because she explained them simply and you got a grasp for them, really as soon as you met them. I went back and forth so many times on who the murderer was and the story kept me enthralled until the end.

one of My friends recommended this had it read in 3 days if you like gripping stories that will make youu laugh and cry all in one this is it
