#ad much love for my advance copy @stmartinspress #partner &amp; @macmillan.audio #partner for the ALC 🅷🅴🅰🆁🆃 🅾🅵 🅶🅻🅰🆂🆂 &lt; @ ʀᴇʟᴇᴀꜱᴇꜱ: ᴀᴜɢᴜꜱᴛ 𝟤𝟧, 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟨 𝙁𝙪𝙘𝙠 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙝, 𝙄’𝙢 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩𝙮. - Samual Figg Samual Figg is serving five consecutive life sentences for the murder of five women. Dubbed the Carnival Killer, he will look you straight in your eyes and tell you that he’s guilty. But what he cannot tell you is that he killed all five women, because he may have taken credit for Lorelei - but he’s not the one who killed her. Now, at the age of 54 - after serving 25 years in jail - Figg’s is ready to tell his story. 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘂𝗱𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻. Barb was Lorelei’s best friend when they met the killer Samual. She’s lived with the guilt and the secretly hidden idea that she wasn’t beautiful enough to be chosen by him. Okay! Now a producer is coming around and a new documentary will be coming out - with or without Barb’s help. I’m not sure if this book comes after Wonderland - if you actually should read Wonderland first because I didn’t. So I’m gonna assume you can. I enjoyed this story. We have the present time but we also go back to the year Lorelei was killed. Hillier portrays a small town so well you can imagine this playing out in your mind as you read. I also enjoyed the mystery of who really killed Lorelei. This is what the whole book is focused around and the journey to that answer kept me hooked throughout. We then get the other parallel mystery when a dead body washes up on shore. Who is she? What happened to her? How does she tie into what is happening? Lots was happening here. Expertly plotted. 🎧: Also followed along with the audio and you HAVE TO listen to this one. It’s a full cast and this cast is stacked. Brittany Pressley, Chris Brinkley, Eunice Wong, Ferdelle Capistrano, and January LaVoy deliver! It’s one of those audiobooks that change how you process this book (during the interview parts). 10/10 stars. While I do wish the documentary interviews were more ingrained into the story, because I found those parts most compelling, it was still a solid read.

fun and trashy - a bit of a theme for me at the moment
