Synopsis

There once was a boy who was an orphan and suffered abuse from his village residents. The only friend he had was the dummy scarecrow on the field, whom he talked to. One day, a wealthy man brutally beat the boy. The next morning, the wealthy man was found dead, and the scarecrow was covered in blood.  Terrified, the villagers were convinced that the scarecrow had come to life to avenge its tormented friend. And it was the last scarecrow ever placed again in the fields, considering it a sign of death.  —   After scarecrow dolls begin appearing in the streets of Riddleford next to murder victims, the town is thrown into chaos. When the hunt for the mystery scarecrow murderer begins, it is only a matter of time before the famous Frontier Hall Opera House employees are subjected to suspicion, each protecting a secret of their own. But is that all that is going on? Or is there something unseen?

An intriguing story from the very beginning. It begins with at least four compelling mysteries that I expect in the end to be flawlessly intertwined and tied together as per Ash's usual style. I look forward to being disturbed and thrilled by her suspenseful writing as the mysteries and their resolutions are slowly developed and brought to life through her writing. Come join the fun.

I’m writing this review at the end of chapter 38. This is different than Ash’s norm, and it has me on the edge of my seat! I listened to most of the first 38 chapters while driving on a long trip,and I found myself gaping at some of the twists and turns in the story. Well-written — hard to put down! I look forward to seeing what unfolds here.
