It’s 1989 and failed detective, Syl Dixon, has returned to her childhood home in Pate, Idaho, to sell the old place she grew up in, back before her Gran mysteriously disappeared. But when the shriveled corpse of a local man is discovered inside the old silver mine the town was built around, Syl is unexpectedly asked to help investigate. She's reluctant, but something about the town has unnerved her from the start, and she can't help but feel that her Gran's disappearance is connected somehow. Once on the case, she soon learns that the mystery behind the man's death goes deeper than the old mine where his corpse was found, and involves an evil that has plagued the town for nearly a century.

Thanks to BookSirens for this ARC - this book was well worth reading! I liked the mix of detective story with slightly supernatural horror, which I felt the author did really well. The only time I didn't love this was when there was something that was really interesting psychologically, and I wish I could have read about it as a 'real' trauma technique because it was so interesting!
I did really like the story but there is a slight lack of explanation for the supernatural aspect that I wish could have been developed further. Perhaps the prequel will tell me more...
