Overview
No one knows what happened that morning at River Point. Five boys went hunting. Four came back. The boys won't say who fired the shot that killed their friend, Grant; the evidence shows it could have been any one of them.
Kate Marino's senior year internship at the District Attorney's Office isn't exactly glamorous-more like an excuse to leave school early that looks good on college applications. Then the DA hands her boss, Mr. Stone, the biggest case her small town of Belle Terre has ever seen. The River Point Boys are all anyone can talk about. Despite their damning toxicology reports the morning of the accident, the DA wants the boys' case swept under the rug. He owes his political office to their powerful families.
Kate won't let that happen. Digging up secrets without revealing her own is a dangerous line to walk; Kate has personal reasons for seeking justice for Grant. As she investigates with Stone-the aging prosecutor relying on Kate to see and hear what he cannot-she realizes that nothing about the case-or the boys-is what it seems. Grant wasn't who she thought he was, and neither is Stone's prime suspect. As Kate gets dangerously close to the truth, it becomes clear that the early morning accident might not have been an accident at all-and if Kate doesn't uncover the true killer, more than one life could be on the line?including her own.

Fast paced Mystery
HPB S. - 6 years 4 months agoI enjoyed this book greatly. I'm not even a mystery fan but I gave this book a shot and found myself unable to put it down. The pacing of the plot was quick and tension and suspense were built well, I felt the protagonist, Kate was relatable. I won't spoil anything but I felt the biggest twist happened towards the beginning of the book and I didn't see it coming. I also enjoyed the love interest in the book as well, I felt he was a likable character and found myself rooting for their relationship. Elston also has a clear understanding of how the lawyers operate, making the mystery realistic and seamlessly incorporating her knowledge into the plot in an interesting way. #SummerReading
