When three young kids come across a body near their house and decide not to tell anyone about it things can only get worse. Brianna is the sensible one amongst them but being the only girl she goes along with what want. One of the kids parents is having an affair with their neighbour Rick that they suspect is the murderer so they try and solve it themsevles without it getting out infear of his dad finding out about the affair. It turns out that Rick's former wife has gone missing so they know it her body out there. Did Rick kill her or did his dad find out about their affair or did his mum kill her as she saw her as a rival. These are all questions that need to be solved before the body is found.
This was a great book and kept me wanting to read on.

Brianna and her friends are messing around one day when they discover human remains at the bottom of a neighbour’s yard.
Story focuses on their investigation. Not entirely sure it is satisfactorily resolved, but it reminded me of movies/TV shows.
I felt this had some interesting ideas. Hints of the relationships between characters was a way of keeping us engaged, but I felt I needed more on each of them.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this in exchange for my thoughts.

What happens when teens in a small town come across a dead body?Who was the one that killed them? Why were they killed and will there be more deaths. Will the police find the answers or will some one get away with murder. Thank you NetGalley.
