By day, Wonderland is a magical amusement park boasting a certain retro charm. Excited children, hands sticky with cotton candy, run frenetically from ride to ride while the tinkling music of the oldest Ferris wheel in the Pacific Northwest fills the air. But behind the scenes, the rides need repairs, and the clown museum is filled with a lot more than just wax figures hunte is working hard to keep the park's dark secrets hidden beneath its weathered attractions. Vanessa Castro's first day as deputy police chief of Seaside, Washington, is off to a bang. The unidentifiable homeless man rotting inside the tiny town's main tourist attraction is strange enough, but now a teenage employee is missing. Clues lead Vanessa into a mysterious web of missing persons cases that goes back decades. She moved to Seaside to escape her own scandalous past, but has she brought her family to the center of an insidious killer's twisted game?

This book was a fun read. There were somethings in the book that I recognized like the name of the park Wonderland and Tiny Tims donuts but it never truly clicked until the authors note. Anyway, I enjoyed the ride!

This might have gotten 5 stars if it hadn't had so much unnecessary language. I was hooked from start to finish.
