Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille’s first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.

Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory.

As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.

I went to the Little Free Library at Catalonia Park to release my books, but seems like Coral Gables still has the parks closed, and the LFL was beyond reach behind the locked gates. So I came to this one instead.

Interesting psychological thriller up to the very end. Fascinating information about MBP and cutting . . . scary in themselves!
I found it in the Little Free Library at the Merrick House in Coral Gables. After our book club read Gone Girl, I knew it would be another great book. Now I'll have to read Dark Places, after I take Sharp Objects back to my new favorite LFL.
