Amazon Review:
Ten years ago, four people were brutally murdered—one girl lived. No one believes her story. The police think she's crazy. Her therapist thinks she's suicidal. Everyone else thinks she's a dangerous drunk. They're all right—but did she see the killer?
As the anniversary of the murders approaches, Faith Winters is released from the psychiatric hospital and yanked back to the last spot on earth she wants to be—her hometown where the slayings took place. Wracked by the lingering echoes of survivor's guilt, Faith spirals into a black hole of alcoholism and wanton self-destruction. Finding no solace at the bottom of a bottle, Faith decides to track down her sister's killer—only to discover that she's the one being hunted. How can one woman uncover the truth when everyone's a suspect—including herself?
I liked that the main character was very different from any I've read before. She was in a mental institution, very angry, and it was hard to believe what she said was true or not.
This leave the reader to try to figure "her" out "as well as" trying to figure out what actually happened and who did it. To say this book is fast paced may be not saying that it is so captivating you do find yourself reading even when your eyes tell you to put the book down!
I do recommend this book to most people who think they figure it out long before the ending!

I think I’d like this book, but the library doesn’t have it and neither does Kindle store.

I usually get my books used on Amazon or "Friends of the Library"..
Not sure this would be for me but glad you enjoyed it, Sis!
