Swapping back across the pond for our second book, this is the opposite of our arlier book review- a supposedly solved case that comes back to life~
A true crime podcast yields new revelations about a shocking murder in a riveting novel of suspense by Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author Loreth Anne White.
True crime podcaster Trinity Scott is chasing breakout success, and her brand-new serial may get her there. Her subject is Clayton Jay Pelley. More than two decades ago, the respected family man and guidance counselor confessed to the brutal murder of teenage student Leena Rai. But why he killed her has always been a mystery.
In a series of exclusive interviews from prison, Clayton discloses to Trinity the truth about what happened that night beneath Devil’s Bridge. It’s not what anyone in the Pacific Northwest town of Twin Falls expects. Clayton says he didn’t do it. Was he lying then? Or now?
As her listeners increase and ratings skyrocket, Trinity is missing a key player in the story: Rachel Walczak, the retired detective who exposed Pelley’s twisted urges and put him behind bars. She’s not interested in playing Clayton’s game—until Trinity digs deeper and the podcast’s reverb widens. Then Rachel begins to question everything she thinks she knows about the past.
With each of Clayton’s teasing reveals, one thing is clear: he’s not the only one in Twin Falls with a secret.
Review:
Admittedly I've been rolling my eyes at the serge of recent books with podcasts at their center, but this seemed a bit different and it was, to my happiness! This is an interesting book- the narratives gives you different perspectives and you see not only HOW the case affected those in it, but how it still haunts them years later, as they each hold questions/truths about what really happened that night. You may think you know midway what happened, but this book is full of surprises and hidden truths, and the end is as expected as it is surprising.It's a case of deceipt and lies, and the truth will shatter many lives all over again. This is a roller coaster- expect to try to read it in one sitting, it is JUST that good! It screams movie, so I won't be surprised when the rights get picked up for a miniseries on a streaming channel! Don't miss this one!
