A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark obsession and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet Iowa town.
For twelve-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover--movies and Ouija and talking about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have dangerous consequences.
Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon their small rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora--and why? In an investigation that leaves no stone unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can be trusted--not even those closest to Cora.

Gripping thriller of three friends set out to investigate an urban legend. There is high school bullying, peer pressure and plenty of twists. Keeps you guessing right up to the end. I really enjoyed this and didn't see that ending coming.
I always look forward to reading Gudenkauf's latest book. Her plot line always keeps you guessing as she draws the reader in slowly. Her stories can be dark, and this one is no exception.
