Trinity Scott has just released the first few episodes of her new true crime podcast. Fourteen years ago, teenager Leena Rai was found brutally murdered. Her high school guidance counselor, Clayton Pelley, confessed to her murder. Now Trinity wants to talk to the people who investigated this case. Former detective Rachel Walczak has no intention of being interviewed. She wants to forget all of the pain caused by this case. But Trinity has talked to Pelley who now says that he did not kill Leena. Rachel wonders if he is lying or if the real killer is still out there.

This story is told from the point-of-view of both Trinity and Rachel. It is also told from two timelines. Rachel describes the murder investigation and the steps that led her to arrest Clayton Pelley. In the present, she listens to the podcast and the interviews, wondering if the wrong person was arrested. Trinity tracks down the people who were at the same party as Leena on the night of her death, asking them to recall everything that happened.

There are lots and lots of characters in this book. Each one of them has a secret and each one of them is a suspect. There were lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Overall, another good mystery from Loreth Anne White. My rating: 4 Stars.
