When she was thirteen years old, Samantha Newsom's family was murdered and their Catskills farmhouse set ablaze in an unsolved crime that left nothing behind but ashes. Twenty-two years later, Sam is pulled back to her hometown of Carney, New York, under the shadows of the grim tragedy she's never forgotten or forgiven. Authorities mishandled the evidence, false rumors were seeded about her family, suspects yielded nothing, and the case went cold. Not anymore. Investigator Travis Meacham has been assigned to the case, and he has news for Sam: a prison inmate has come forward with a shocking admission. Sam's baby sister, presumed dead in the fire, made it out of the house that night. It's not the only reveal that upends everything Sam thinks she knows about the crime and her family. But Carney protects its secrets. And this time, Sam might not be able to escape the town alive.… (more)

Terrific story right to the end! ( )

Found Family Secrets

She always thought her entire family was killed by the police when she was a young girl. However, after her uncle’s death and her returning to that small town…she was told her 2yo sister may not have been in the house when the fire started. But if so, who took her sister and did that person kill her parents also.

I found this was a good murder mystery from a cold case that led to revealing new truths about her family from long ago. ( )
