The townspeople of Wakarusa, Indiana will never forget the disappearance and death of young January Jacobs.  Twenty years later,  another child is kidnapped.  Margot Davies, a crime reporter, is back home to take care of her uncle who has dementia; January had been a friend of hers growing up. Haunted by January’s death, she doggedly pursues what she believes is a connection between the two cases.  Like most small towns where going to church on Sunday is a requirement, there are secrets to be revealed in Wakarusa.  

The author is host of a true crime podcast which I have never heard.  Her writing is can’t put down riveting.  There are twists, turns, red herrings here.  The story is told in alternating timelines from different POVs. 

The ending was not a typical tie up all the loose ends.  There were some things left a bit unresolved.  I was a little uncomfortable with it as I wanted to know what comes next! 

Thanks to #netgalley and #randomhouse #bantambooks for the ARC.
