Great story by this author. A man returns home after being in prison only to find that his sister has been murdered. Now he tries to find out what happened to her.
My first Piccirilli book and unfortunately I wasn't that impressed. The story is about a guy named Shad who gets out of jail and heads back home to find out how his sister died. At the beginning I was really interested. The town sounded creepy. The mysteries behind the town even creepier. But as the story continued it seemed to just go around in circles. Finally towards the end it started to get really interesting again only to have a disappointing ending. I have read on other reviews that this is not his best work so I'll definitely give the author another try.
