After the first season of her true crime podcast became an overnight sensation and set an innocent man free, Rachel Krall is now a household name―and the last hope for thousands of people seeking justice. But she’s used to being recognized for her voice, not her face. Which makes it all the more unsettling when she finds a note on her car windshield, addressed to her, begging for help.The small town of Neapolis is being torn apart by a devastating rape trial. The town’s golden boy, a swimmer destined for Olympic greatness, has been accused of raping a high school student, the beloved granddaughter of the police chief. Under pressure to make Season Three a success, Rachel throws herself into interviewing and investigating―but the mysterious letters keep showing up in unexpected places. Someone is following her, and she won’t stop until Rachel finds out what happened to her sister twenty-five years ago. Officially, Jenny Stills tragically drowned, but the letters insists she was murdered―and when Rachel starts asking questions, nobody seems to want to answer. The past and present start to collide as Rachel uncovers startling connections between the two cases that will change the course of the trial and the lives of everyone involved.
This book is an example of the podcast world colliding with the literary world and I am here for it! I ended up picking this up on audio and it really intensified the story so I'd highly recommend you give it a listen. The author did a great job of combining two different stories and timelines without making it too confusing. I was totally invested in both storylines. I only had one main issue that made me take it down a half a star in my final rating, but I can't really talk about it without spoiling it. While I am seeing a trend of podcasts in books, as long as they continue to be this good I'll keep on reading them.
