I find it unrealistic that two underage kids keep and bury a dead baby. Thanks for the review.

Dead Reckoning sounds like a very suspenseful thriller, with no lack of emotion, curveballs, and murder. I’m curious as to what will happen to Gilly and her friend, who buried the baby, and how it will affect their lives.

Was it not scary to Gilly and her friend to keep a dead baby in her house at that time? I would really want to know the reason for their actions. Nice review!

I think this should be an interesting crime novel set in Indiana, U.S.A. Thank you for the review!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)

Dead Reckoning is a crime mystery novel that involves Gilly and her friends, who found a dead baby and buried it. Now that Gilly is older, she is remorseful for her actions and wants to do the right thing. After all these years, will confessing make a difference? Thanks for your review.

I love crime and horror book, but the review has raised more questions than answers. So I guess I am going to check out the book. Great review.

Nice review, this book gave an individual experience of some of our horrible childhood. The horror and how it hurt our feelings even when it has passed. I pray Grill forgives herself and move on. Thanks to the author of BOD.

A book that talks about how gilly regrets her actions of over twenty-six years ago. She also talks about how she and her friend a dead baby they found in the wood. The book contains a great plot twist. Nice review.

Crime thrillers can be interesting and at the same time difficult to read. I see what they experience as the aftermath of Gilly and Sally's
actions when they were younger.

This seems like a very interesting book for fans of crime thrillers. The book has a lot of suspense and also a lot of murder it seems. I love a good crime thriller. But the horror parts in this keeps me on the fence about reading this one. Congrats on BOTD!

A past happening that still scars the future of the narrator. I'd want to know. This sounds like a great suspense-filled thriller. Congratulations on BOTD

Gilly's story is certainly terrifying. I am curious to see how she reckons with the consequences of her actions years later. This crime/horror thriller sounds fascinating so congratulations on BOTD.

I think the idea of telling a story using a diary is one of the best ways stories have been told over the years. The author is also able to infuse suspense into the book. I may read this book.
