On Valentine's Day 2020, hairdresser Karen Simmons got a bit tipsy with her good friend, headed home, and then got a text from a mysterious someone and left her home to meet up. The next morning, she was discovered dead in the nearby woods. Karen had been a known user of dating apps, and led a singles group in their small town — given her intoxication, there are several people who seem to think she got what was coming to her. But police detective Elise King and journalist Kiki Nunn think otherwise, and each starts her own investigation into Karen's death. While Elise's path is more conventional and official, Kiki makes the bold decision to delve into the world of online dating herself to try to catch Karen's killer.
This book had a compelling plot, and enough subplots to keep the story interesting and keep me guessing. However, the three point-of-view characters are all women (Elise, Kiki, and Annie, whose son was murdered in the same woods 16 years earlier) and VERY hard to distinguish, voice-wise. It's a decent book, but not my favorite.
