Chloe Davis has managed to move on from her past, with mixed results. When she was twelve, six girls went missing in her small town...only to be found dead. The culprit? Her loving father. Charged and convicted as a serial killer, he went to prison to serve a life sentence. Chloe and her family never fully recovered from the repercussions.

Whoa! This is so impressive, spine tingling and deliciously twisty and intelligent! Let’s make some noise and clap till our hands hurt: we have a brilliant author at smart psychological thriller town : welcome dear Stacy Willingham! And, as much as I couldn't stand the narrator most of the time, I also felt a...kinship with her in some ways... Sometimes eerily descriptive: “It’s as if the answers have been in front of me all along--dancing, just out of reach. Twirling . . .like that ballerina, chipped and pink, spinning to the rhythm of delicate chimes.” Is there a copy cat killer imitating her father’s method or was his father convicted to lifetime prison sentence for the crime he didn’t convict! Chloe Davis has lived in the shadow of fear for a long time. When she was twelve years ago, six teenage girls disappeared in town, one right after another. The nightmare finally ended when her own father confessed to the killings, upending her childhood and leaving her family in ruins. Now twenty years later, girls are going missing again. And Chloe can't help but feel there is a link between what's happening now and what happened so long ago.Twenty years after Chloe Davis’ father was convicted of killing half a dozen young women, someone seems to be celebrating the anniversary by extending the list. Mostly though, I really liked the way the author seemed to have a handle on the childhood experience...the sense of fear of the figurative darkness and the pervasive and erroneous idea that adults know everything. While I found certain aspects of the story toed the line of predictability, I nonetheless had a fun time reading it. I guessed a major twist early on, so I’m tooting my own horn (Btw, has anyone else considered how wrong that sounds? Or is it just me?🤷). However, there is plenty of deflection and red herrings that had me second guessing my suspicions. On top of that, there were other welcome surprises in store.

House refers to a building in which someone lives. A house becomes a home only when there is an emotional connection. That is why some philosophers say that a home is a place where the heart is. When people can convert physical space into one where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved with their family, it is called a home. We can see the author trying to discuss this difference to make us understand the difficulties faced by people in homes that are not safe. I’ve been hearing a buzz about this book!!! It’s a debut novel, a psychological thriller revolving around a serial killer. It has already been “optioned for a limited series by actress Emma Stone and sold to a dozen countries around the world”. Reader, my eyes closed in pain. I'd like to call this an editorial error, but I think the main character is actually this stupid. I have a master's degree. I also have a doctorate. Which one do you think came first - the doctor designation, or the dusty, useless piece of paper my mom put in a frame? Hmm. I've read plenty of serial killer stories from the perspective of investigators, the victims and their families, and regular townspeople, but I'm not sure I've ever read one from the killer's own daughter. And coming at it from that angle makes this story feel fresh and unusual. Chloe still suffers from the fallout of her childhood, and her narrative envelopes the whole story in her dark and foreboding mood. Chloe Davis is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and engaged to Daniel. What haunts her in the last twenty years is her family's past. At twelve, her father was arrested for multiple missing girls in their small town of Beaux Bridge. After her father's confession, and has gone to prison, the family starts to fall apart Chole, her brother Cooper, and their mother eventually ends up in a care facility.Chloe Davis is a damaged woman. She was only 12 years old when her father was convicted as a serial killer!! The girls murdered were girls she knew, girls from her small town. Chloe had found damaging evidence. Her father is in prison. years later, Chloe is now a psychologist. She’s happily engaged, but still fights her demons in the form of prescription drugs. She feels she’s been coping to the best of her ability. Chloe has spiked Cooper's drink, so he gets drowsy and is soon arrested. Chloe's father is released from prison. The book ends with Chloe going to visit Sophie in Mississippi to return her ring to her.

Where to even start with this book? Chloe Davis, the human equivalent of hold music, is very deeply damaged. She's the daughter of a notorious serial killer, and she's done everything she can to separate herself from that life. Those efforts include the following: not changing her name, moving an hour away from her hometown, giving an interview on how her serial killer father inspired her career, ETC. Girlfriend, have you heard of Google? Everybody knows you. Your Ken-doll fiancé - yeah, you didn't have to reveal nothing, because other people know how the internet works. Daniel also admits to visiting Chloe's father Richard n prison, since there were parts of the story that didn't line up for him. In doing so, he learned that Richard wasn't the killer.When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing in her small Louisiana town. By the end of the summer, her own father had confessed to the crimes and was put away for life, leaving Chloe and the rest of her family to grapple with the truth and try to move forward while dealing with the aftermath. So Chloe is the star of this anxiety-inducing show. When she was really young, her father got arrested for the deaths of teenage girls. This is something that really traumatized her, and we see a lot of the effects in her adult years. Her brother and mother were also traumatized and they both also exhibit effects of this. Nevertheless, she is doing better: she is getting married to a really good guy, she has a great job, and she can honestly see her past getting behind her. What could possibly go wrong? Well, teenage girls start getting missing, and the clues being left behind are quite similar to when she was younger when those teenage girls went missing. Are they connected in a way? I was never bored as the facts were unspooled, like a ball of yarn-the revelations coming faster as we neared the end. Maybe just a little too fast-as I had some unanswered questions about the final reveal. I hardly guess the bad guy correctly. I did this time, so please let me brag. 😂 It didn't take long, I thought it was a little obvious, although, Ms. Willingham had me doubt myself because Chloe becomes unreliable so I start thinking it could be He #2, He #3, or He #4. Hell, Chloe is losing it too.
