In the middle of the night in Boise, Idaho, a man enters a bar and begins shooting. This act affects many people. Angie Matthews is woken by a phone call from the police. They claim that her husband, Cale, was shot and taken to a nearby hospital. She didn't even know he had left their bed. Tessa was a bartender at Ray's Bar. When the shooting started, she hid in a storage closet, afraid to come out until the police found her an hour later. Widowed Joyce Ketcher answers her door just to be notified that her son, Jed, was killed at Ray's Bar early this morning. He is believed to be the shooter. Their lives are all turned upside down. There are many questions. What made Jed shoot up the bar? Why was Cale at the bar in the middle of the night?

This book came highly recommended by a friend. I'm so glad that I read it. It was riveting. Not only do we get the points-of-view of the three main characters, but we also get the stories of the victims and what brought them to Ray's Bar that fateful night. I listened to the audiobook and absolutely loved it. Devon Savari, Hillary Huber, and Stephanie Willing voiced the three main characters of the story. They all did an outstanding job. My rating: 5 Stars.
