Dark. Twisted and shocking! The first half of this novel is a slow build, not necessarily harnessing the tension or pacing of a thriller. A missing girl sends a sleuth ferreting out something quite unsettling about a modest estate near the local heath. The facts and events that eventually come to light are both chilling and bizarre. How many secrets and lies can exist within the walls of one family’s house? Find out June 23, 2026…if you dare.
I recommend this book to fans of dark mystery and horror.
I thank NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of It Could Have Been Her for my unbiased evaluation. 3.5 stars
