Someone left a bag of books on the ground next to my Little Free Library. Picked this one out of there to read.

This is a strange book that tries to be too many stories at once. It's a whodunit, a fantasy, a historical fiction, a family drama - and none of it seems to quite hit the mark. I don't know if it's an excess of narrators (eleven in all) or something else. Basically, a woman comes back to her hometown because her sister has died under mysterious circumstances, in a place where a lot of women have died over the years for various reasons, from suicide to murder to witch trials. And in the end, it's just kind of muddy and I found I didn't actually know (or care) who'd killed whom. Ah well.
Bringing to the first in-person BCinDC meetup of 2022. I haven't seen most of these folks since The Beforetimes - over two years ago now!

I found this hardcover on the Book Buffet at the home of ResQGeek at today's BookCrossing meetup in Alexandria, Virginia.
Thanks for this book, melydia. I loved The Girl on the Train by this author. I might try this novel in the future.
