The Killing Plains by Sherry Rankin

First Line:

Pressing his forehead against the cool glass wall, Willis Newland squinted into the gloom of the enclosure.

Summary:

Everyone knows everyone, and yet, everyone has a secret.

A boy is found dead. Everyone knows Willis Newland killed him because it's the obvious answer. He was just released from prison after serving 20 years for an identical crime.

But what if he didn't do it?

That's where Detective Colly Newland comes in. Though reluctant, she agrees to investigate the case. The deeper she digs, the more secrets unfold before her eyes.

My Review: NO SPOILERS

Listened to the audiobook for this and LOVED it! Way more than I expected!

I had guessed who the killer was earlier in the book, but I was still SO curious the entire story. Maybe it was the story, maybe it was the voice actor.

Either way, the story was so intriguing that I finished it within a day. An unexpected treasure ❤️
