What Amazon Says:
On a humid summer day in Alabama, a mayor's wife turns up brutally murdered under a railroad bridge. Standing next to her body is 14 year old Mason Hill, the autistic son of former Miss USA Genevive Hill. The locals are quick to level their verdict on young Mason: he did it. The town detective calls in local autism expert Casey Walker to consult on the case. At first, CAsey tries to keep an open mind. But the more time she spends with genevieve, the more her unease grows, and she suspects that Genevieve is doing more than just protecting her son. Casey's misgivings surrounding Genevieve's story only intensify when she meets Savannah, Genevieve's 19 year old daughter. Savannah, as it turns out, has some disturbing secrets of her own. But as Casey dives ever deeper into the Hill family dynamic, her search for the truth leads to another shocking murder - one that shatters her understanding of the human condition in ways she never imagined.
This wasn't a good book. It was one of my monthly free reads from Amazon, and it fit a reading challenge category, so I read it. I was hoping it would be a good mystery, but it wasn't well written and I didn't like any of the characters. It started to redeem itself a bit in the middle, but then fell completely apart at the end. The ending was really terrible - just.....ended. No resolution. Skip
