The Shadows by Alex North

Reviewed by B. Ullsvik, May 2023

25 years ago, a guy named Charlie Crabtree committed a murder. A murder so sinister that it’s attracted that strange kind of infamy that only exists on the darkest corners of the internet--and inspired more than one copycat. Crabtree was never found, only his partner was brought to justice. Now, the story is back. Paul was one of the kids surrounding the first murder 25 years ago. Whether he wants to or not, he must relive his trauma in order to help solve the copycat murder. This story is wonderfully written, and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
