All These Bodies

* Indie Next List Pick * Indie Bestseller *
Sixteen bloodless bodies. Two teenagers. One impossible explanation. In this edge-of-your-seat mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake, the truth is as hard to believe as it is to find.
Summer 1958. A gruesome killer plagues the Midwest, leaving behind a trail of bodies completely drained of blood.
Michael Jensen, an aspiring journalist whose father happens to be the town sheriff, never imagined that the Bloodless Murders would come to his backyard. Not until the night the Carlson family was found murdered in their home. Marie Catherine Hale, a diminutive fifteen-year-old, was discovered at the sceneβcovered in blood. She is the sole suspect in custody.
Michael didnβt think that he would be part of the investigation, but he is pulled in when Marie decides that he is the only one she will confess to. As Marie recounts her version of the story, it falls to Michael to find the truth: What really happened the night that the Carlsons were killed? And how did one girl wind up in the middle of all these bodies?

I kind of dislike the ending - because it feels... unresolved? However, I also believe that is how it's meant to be, so we are able to think about whether or not what was said is true or not.
Defiantly recommend for those true crime and thriller lovers out there.
(also, true crime followers will recognize a few other famous (or infamous?) crimes mentioned.)
