Goodreads: Josie Ashbury was a successful Hollywood actress with a booming career-until an on-set breakdown sends her back to her small Ohio hometown to recover. Taking a job teaching at her old high school, Josie is beginning to put the pieces of her life back together when one of her students dies under suspicious circumstances. The police close the case quickly, without any real answers. Josie is determined to find the truth behind the girl’s death. At the same time, Josie is battling demons of her own. As she faces debilitating insomnia that leaves her with gaps in her memory, she dives into the tangled secrets surrounding the investigation. When she finally unravels the web, she discovers that the truth lies much closer to home than she could have ever imagined.

Ope’s Opinion: The mystery itself was an interesting one. The story felt like it should be in the YA category. The detailed description of who was wearing what and the conversations felt young for an adult book.

I am not and never have been a fan of amateur sleuthing. I don’t buy it that if a trained professional can’t find the answer, but an amateur can some how figure it out.

The short chapters helped me keep reading.
