Synopsis:
A gripping thriller about three young girlfriends, a dark obsession and a chilling crime that shakes up a quiet lowa town, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Weight of Silence. For twelve-year-old Cora Landry and her friends Violet and Jordyn, it was supposed to be an ordinary sleepover–movies and Ouija and talking about boys. But when they decide to sneak out to go to the abandoned rail yard on the outskirts of town, little do they know that their innocent games will have dangerous consequences. Later that night, Cora Landry is discovered on the tracks, bloody and clinging to life, her friends nowhere to be found. Soon their small rural town is thrust into a maelstrom. Who would want to hurt a young girl like Cora–and why? In an investigation that leaves no stone unturned, everyone is a suspect and no one can be trusted–not even those closest to Cora.

My first line comes from Remembrance by Suzie Waltner. A book I won in a Goodreads Giveaway a few years ago.
“Who would have thought a little drive would turn into this fiasco? Leah mentally kicked herself for ignoring the noises her car had been making over the past couple of weeks instead of taking it in to the mechanic.”
