What could have happened to Aurora? Someone knows but isn't telling.
Uncovering bones from a thirty-year-old disappearance/murder case wasn’t something the police thought would happen after their very thorough search and investigation back then.
The remains of fourteen-year-old Aurora Jackson was a shock to the six teens that had been with her as well as the town and her parents. Everyone believed she had been kidnapped or had run away not murdered.
SHE LIES IN WAIT goes back and forth from 1983 to the present telling the story of what happened at the campsite, how the investigation was exhaustive and came up with nothing, and moves to present day with the interviewing of the now-adult teens and the re-opening of the case.
Opening the case meant bringing the six friends together at the station for a meeting. Was that a good idea or had there been collaboration beforehand? Are they all only going to try to save themselves? Will one of the friends say things that had not been said before and reveal something that could get that person arrested?
The investigation turned up some facts that had been overlooked and involved a person that was not one of the six friends.

SHE LIES IN WAIT moves smoothly from one chapter to the next and holds your interest because of all the questions about what really happened and who was lying back then and who was still lying now.

you enjoy being a detective, you will definitely enjoy SHE LIES IN
WAIT.
The story line is good and nicely carried out with some twists
and of course secrets being kept. 5/5
This book was given to me as an ARC by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Sounds very good although a little gruesome!
ReplyDeleteIt actually wasn't that graphic.
DeleteIt was more about how characters hid the truth about what happened.
Thanks for commenting, Kathryn.
I'm kind of over the back and forth storylines - they have to be well done to draw me in these days. This sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt think you would like it, Kathy.
DeleteThanks for commenting.
Grown up teens coming back together usually makes for a good story.
