This was a creepy good fast paced thriller that I enjoyed reading . It reminds you of a murder mystery on ID network
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for letting me review this book

This is a great suspense/mystery thriller! The story revolves around Alex Salerno who was kidnapped when she was 17 and held in an underground basement for three days before she was found--found before she was raped and killed by her captor who is arrested and sent to prison. Alex had a brief affair with the married police officer who rescued her and now her life is kind of a mess--she drinks and does drugs to ease her pain from the kidnapping long ago....seven years after her kidnapping, another young girl was found dead in a hotel room, beaten and raped. All the evidence in this case, Kira Shanks, points to a mentally disabled gentle giant named Benny who is sent to a mental hospital because he has been beaten most likely by townspeople looking for vigilante justice on their own. Alex in the present day answers a call from a reporter doing a story on Kira Shanks and agrees to meet him, going to her her hometown in upstate New York from the city where she lives. She ends up staying in town after the reported suggests a connection between her kidnapping and Kira's death even though they are years apart and Benny is still in a mental hospital. Alex starts researching and putting the information together about what really happened to Kira because she starts to believe that Benny didn't do it either--a couple chapters are written from Benny's point of view, to the world he is basically a zombie unable to do anything for himself and unable to speak but his mind is still working and able to process thoughts giving clues as to what happened to him and to Kira. This is a really page turner that I could not put down until I got to the end. Great writing, interesting story with lots of twists and an ending that I did not expect. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! Definitely worth your time! Thanks to NG for the ARC!!!!
