Book Review of We Are All the Same in the Dark

We Are All the Same in the Dark


I thoroughly enjoyed reading Black-eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin so looked forward to reading this one.

I admit, I always read late at night so when I was confused while reading first chapter, I attributed it to being tired. Next night I started reading earlier, a bit more rested. First chapter still very confusing but I plodded on. It took reading half of the book before these three intertwined stories made sense. The ending was worth reading the entire book.

Short Summary: Small town Texas cop Odette Tucker has never been able to escape what happened 10 yrs ago - the disappearance of Trumanell Branson, the most popular girl-next-door-best-thing-since-sliced-white-bread. Posters still scream for the return of the town's princess. All eyes (and gossip) have pointed at Wyatt, Trumanell's brother. And he's just discovered a strange one-eyed girl sitting in a field, alone. What does he know? What does Odette know? Secrets... secrets... everywhere.
