Cold case reporter Sloane Grayson has come to a small mountain town in Virginia to solve a mystery.
Thirty years ago, her mother was one of four women who vanished during a music festival. The event’s promoter was eventually convicted of their murders, and Sheriff CJ Taggart closed the case. But for Sloane, it’s still open. Because the bodies were never found.
With Taggart now long dead, Sloane must make do with questioning the victims’ families and the few remaining witnesses once again. If they’re still willing to dredge up memories of a crime that made their town notorious. As for the incarcerated killer, he has always maintained his innocence. Sloane isn’t entirely convinced he’s lying.
Somewhere nearby, unmarked graves conceal the bones and secrets of the dead. Sloane will do anything to find them and unearth the truth, even if that means playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse with someone determined to stop her…
My Thoughts:
Any mystery thriller reader should pick up this book. It is one of the best of 2025! I cannot wait for my friends to read it so I
can share my excitement. Mary Burton
has cemented herself as a must-read author for me and I always recommend her
books when someone asks me “what should I read next”.
What She Saw is a story that takes the past and merges it
with the present. The missing girls all
have connections to the present in Dawson.
Sloane also has a connection to the missing girls but she is a well
known writer about unsolved mysteries and finding out the who-dun-it. I like that she never gives up. The threats, the lack of clues, the misleading
clues…none of that slows her down or stops her from working to solve the
clues.
If you are looking for twists and turns this is the book for
you. I could not put it down and highly
recommend picking up your own copy.
Thank you to the author for a copy of the book in exchange
for my honest review.
