Annie Gore was Special Forces. Now retired from the Air Force, she is barely making ends meet as a private detective. Recently, she was contacted by a young man named Max, who has been searching for his sister for the past ten years. The cold case takes her to the beautiful Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, where three girls went missing a decade ago. One girl mysteriously returned, but two were never seen again. Max, a talented artist about to start college, knows deep down that he cannot begin his new life until he tries one more time to solve the mystery. Having grown up in very similar surroundings, Annie feels at home in this misty holler, where locals are not usually welcoming to outsiders. The inclusion of folklore, witches, crows, and apple head dolls adds layers upon layers to this creepy case, where the girls seem to have vanished into thin air. As Annie uncovers long-buried clues, she leaves no stone—or person—unturned. Because so few come and go from this town, everyone is a suspect. A whodunit with a witchy twist, I could not put down this fantastic debut. Lucky for us, the author is already working on another mystery starring my new favorite detective! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
