It’s also Katie Bailey (Caitlin Houlahan), missing for over a year and presumed dead another missing girl Hillary found murdered and a recently kidnapped young sex worker and addict Missy (Sasha Frolova).

The scenery has changed some.Is it a bird? A plane? Laura Palmer wrapped in plastic? No, it’s 16-year-old Erin McMenamin (Cailee Spaeny), the newest half naked, dead, white woman to wash up on shore, triggering a series of small-town mysteries in HBO’s crime drama miniseries Mare of Easttown. These are only some of the many impossible things you'll believe while reading this uniquely told tale of destruction, survival, and redemption for some.If you're a new reader, welcome.If you're an old one, welcome back.
