Summary
It’s been four days, and 17-year-old Reese
Elderwood still has no idea what happened to her missing best friend, Charlotte
Walters.
Charlotte disappeared at her own house on a Saturday night,
in the middle of a Halloween party with the theme of “missing girls.”
And so far, no one has any answers. Charlotte’s parents and older brother are
still acting strange, a classmate whom Reese used to have a crush on has been
giving her cryptic hints and warnings, and the police have made a shocking
discovery in the lake that raises only more questions.
But Reese is not about to give up on her best friend. The
affluent, lakeshore town of St. Clair has always been a place full of secrets,
but Reese will make sure that what happened to Charlotte doesn’t remain one of
them.
Her first order of business? Making a trip to Charlotte’s
neighbor’s house, where an elusive boy drops hints that the mystery Reese is
unraveling is bigger than she could have imagined—and that if Reese keeps
investigating, she may discover that her best friend was keeping more than just
a few secrets from her.
THE LAST REAL CRIME is the second book in the trilogy
“The Disappearance of Charlotte Walters.”

My Review
5/5 Stars
This is packed with as much suspense as the first book. As Reese delves into the depths of her friend’s disappearance, everyone becomes a suspect. Enemies turn to friends and friends into enemies. At the end of it all, Reese’s understanding of who her friend is, is turned upside down.
Just like the first book, the suspense was overwhelming. Even though this mystery is short, there is a lot that goes on. I felt as if Reese really found herself. This book made me ponder the question: how well do you know those around you. For everything that Reese experienced, I can’t wait to see how it’ll affect her journey in book three.
Most important, I can’t wait to see if she finally finds Charlotte.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
