    What a delightful romp with a stellar lead actress.

    This film is a fun and exciting roller coaster from start to finish. What may start as a typical Lifetime Film, is elevated by the performances of the cast. The show is truly stolen by the lead actress Alex Camacho who truly shines in a leading role that has you terrified for her as she hunts for the killer. She is empathetic and stern when necessary but has a powerful and commanding control of any room she is in. This actresses star will only continue to shine and I can't wait to watch her star in more projects. The supporting cast of family and fellow townspeople round out a truly talented ensemble and this makes for a delightful watch.

    Dang!

    So, I want to start by saying how nice it is to see a fresh face on the tv these days. I mean, we've all seen the Angelina's, Margo's, J Lo's etc. But to sit down on the couch, pop the tube on, and see a classically beautiful unknown actress really shine is just so refreshing and wonderful.

    I've been a big fan of Lifetime originals for as long as I can remember. "Death of a Cheerleader" , No one would Tell", "Gracie's Choice", "Fifteen and Pregnant", "Mom at Sixteen", "She's to Young", "A Secret Between Friends", "Lies my Mother told Me", "She Cried No".

    I could go on and on. But this one. This one really hit the mark!

    Amazing

    Usually I'm not a fan of lifetime movies because they can be cringy and predictable. This one was nothing like that! The chemistry and emotions between Nicole and her mom felt so real. There was the perfect amount of drama/mystery/predictability.

    The actress who plays Nicole is absolutely gorgeous and brings such realness and emotion. I would love to see her in more movies and shows. Alex was hypnotizing with her acting.

    Honestly all the actors did amazing and made all the connections/relationships seem legitimate. I think they picked a great cast. I might even start watching lifetime movies now because of this one.

    First Lifetime movie in a long time for me

    I was following the Facebook page prior to the movie coming out and I am glad I watched the movie! I know it is based on a true story and the actors make you feel like you are a part of it! A true mystery to find the guilty person before the actors do! Who doesn't love a true mystery? The actors were great! The story was very intriguing! The movie was worth waiting on.. I can see the lead actress in future movies! She is a natural and a very beautiful lady! I will be watching more Lifetime in the future! I will also be looking into the story the movie is based on as the movie has made me curious...

    Hot actress!

    Couldn't take my eyes off of the beautiful redhead. She is clearly bound for greatness. More please!

    I've never been a big lifetime movie guy. In fact I think this is the first one I've ever seen.

    I was hooked right from the very beginning. The Lead actress and her mother had great chemistry. I could feel the "lifetime" of turmoil and tension between them. Sister Riley also did a fantastic job.

    This movie did a nice job within is murder mystery genre. The family had fun guessing "who" in the cast of characters "done it".

    It is a visually well shot movie that maintains a constant state of suspense for the viewer.

    Alex Camacho had beautiful moments through out, and left me wanting more.

    Sequel???
