Odette Tucker has returned to her hometown in order to follow in her father's law enforcement footsteps. But Odette is on a mission. Ten years ago her boyfriend's sister and father went missing. A bloody handprint was the only thing left behind. While Trumanell and Frank Branson were disappearing, Odette was in a car accident where she lost her leg. Wyatt was everybody's primary suspect, but Odette knew that he couldn't have done it. And she is still trying to prove his innocence. And then Wyatt turns up with a traumatized teenage girl. Odette knows that people will immediately think the worst of her friend. Now Odette has two mysteries to solve, what happened to Trumanell and Frank Branson. And who is this young Angel and what horrors brought her to Odette?
We Are All the Same in the Dark was a dark and twisty novel, so full of surprises that my jaw literally dropped. I really liked the complexity of Odette Tucker. She had known some hardship in her life with the accident that took her leg. And she was a deeply flawed woman, but she had a deep-seated quest for truth and justice. I loved the way that she took Angel under her wing and got her the care she needed. The author really threw me for a loop about halfway into the book when she switched from Odette's narration to Angel's. But it was just so good! CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - If I have said it once, I have said it twenty times. I love it when an author can shock me. Julia Heaberlin did just that with We Are All the Same in the Dark.
