The Field of Wrongdoing – Book Review

How well can you really know someone? The smallest towns hold the darkest secrets. And the people you least suspect are the ones you should fear the most. When Cassie’s friend disappears, Cassie knows all too well the tragic end Jennifer has probably met. After all, Cassie is the one who found the last murdered girl in the field on her boyfriend Leo’s property nine years ago. She never believed the love of her life was capable of such a brutal crime. Not even after Leo went to prison for an unrelated crime. But now he’s back, released on parole, and another girl has gone missing . . . USA Today bestselling author Lili St. Germain delivers a terrifying, unpredictable thrill ride that explores how far one woman is willing to go to discover the truth – and the brutal betrayals she unearths along the way.

This is a dark disturbing mystery thriller set in a small town in Nebraska. Leo and Cassie used to be a couple. While they were dating, Leo found a body of a dead girl, known as Karen in the ditch. Many suspected Leo but Leo soon goes to prison as he was drunk driving and accidentally puts Cassie’s mother into coma. Now eight years later, Leo comes back from prison. Cassie is living a hardened life. And as soon as Leo returns back to the small town, another girl also goes missing.

This was at times disturbing to read. The story is told in the POV’s of Leo and Cassie although a different character’s POV was introduced in the end. The story is a thriller but also deals with real life situation–drugs, rape, underage pregnancy etc which might be sensitive for some readers The whole story was written well, and the pacing of the story was good. The story was very realistic.

Overall, this book worth 4 stars.
