What a ride! Keeps you guessing to the end and left me with chills! I would be raving about this one if not for a bit of vagueness on the actual event. Still, it is a heart pounding tale with twists that is worth the read.

I am the star of screaming headlines and campfire ghost stories.
I am one of the four Black-Eyed Susans.
The lucky one.

Tess was 16 years old when she was found in a shallow grave surrounded by a bed of back-eyed Susans. She was one of four bodies, only she was alive. She has no idea how she got into the field or why.

Story is told in two time frames; when crime happened and now two decades later when alleged attacked is about to be executed. The alternating chapters help keep timeline moving.

Lots of twits and turns, like Lydia who is Tessa's best friend, since they were 8 years old --- is gone. She's been missing since she testified in court. Her entire family is gone... ( house sold and no contact with Tessa)...Lydia comes back into story 17 years later.

And Tess wakes one winter morning to see a patch of Black-eyed Susans planted in her yard. These are summer flowers....is the killer back? Should she be worried about her 14 yo daughter?

A fast-moving story, with surprise ending.
