Uncovering a family secret...leads to death
The story has three timelines: the past, the present, and one year ago. The story has alternating points of view between Sharon, Ryan, Gina, and the detective. Pieces of information are scattered in these timelines.
Story: Uncovering a family deadly secret that’s been hidden for twenty-one years. The mystery behind the death of these recent victims leads Gina back to haunting memories from her past.
Gina is an ambitious reporter looking for a new age opportunity to report the news. However, in her haste to report the news Gina reports a crime scene that creates a backlash of trouble for her job and the detectives. She opened herself up to the public’s criticisms and threats with her carelessness to report the news without thinking of the consequences.
Overall: Once I grew accustomed to the delivery and the characters I was able to settle into the story. It’s a slow paced story focusing primarily on Gina’s character. Ryan is a main character as well, yet his issues are completely different from his sisters. I had hoped for a more fast paced action thriller, but I’m finding it’s slow building.
It’s just didn’t measure up to what I had preconceived from reading the synopsis. I wasn’t immersed into the story the way I hoped. I stayed with it until the end because I was morbidly curious as to the outcome. I wasn’t shocked or surprised by the conclusion. I was disappointed in the delivery of the information. I felt this had the potential of being a thrilling page turner especially with its conclusion.
