Meh. Just meh, for me.

I have this thing where I don’t like when regular people are investigating crimes and murders more/harder than the paid public servants who are supposed to do it.

Margot is no professional crime fighter but she is a journalist who comes back to her small town to care for her ailing uncle. While back in her small town, word of another murder gets around and that kicks up dust around the murder of January Jacobs when Margot was just a kid.

January gives very JonBenet Ramsey. The cast of characters in this town gives the same vibe too. January’s family are suspects, the police are suspects, everyone has secrets and, no one is telling the truth.

I’ve got nothing else. Margot might as well, sign up for the police force and become a detective because, she’s the only person doing any real work – despite her uncle actually needing help and her job threatening to fire her almost every day. Somehow in the end Margo t is a hero, she gets a rise, gets to work from home, and has more than enough money to now pay someone to care for her uncle – *eye roll*.

One-Word Summary: Disappointing
