As they ventured into the dark woods for an evening walk, Ana and her companion stumbled upon something unexpected - a human skull. The discovery completely consumed Ana's thoughts as she began to ponder whose skull it could possibly be. With her mind in detective mode, Ana starts a secret investigation alongside the police to unravel the mystery.
As she delves deeper into the investigation, Ana comes across the murdered victim's wife who feels unemotional about the case, the landlord of the farm house which was linked with his work of Rare earth Lanthanum mines  and two high-status individuals whose activities raise a lot of unclean business. With so many suspects, it's hard to determine whether it was an accident or a murder. What conspiracies are hiding in plain sight? Was it a result of a power play?
The book provides three perspectives, each from a different woman whose life is intricately linked to the case. The last few pages of this murder mystery thriller book proved to be a game-changer even with a somewhat bragging or slowed pace middle part my mind was completely blown away.


 I highly recommend this book to all the thriller lovers out there. It's definitely worth picking up and exploring for yourself.
