This was a slower read for a Lucy Foley mystery but I’m glad I gave it a second try. It was set up differently than other books, so it was much harder to guess the ending. Once again, the audiobook is great with the full cast reading each character. It had a lot of twists and turns but took a while for me to get invested.

...Yet another thriller that I did not enjoy.  It was filled with characters that had one main facet which was being awful.  Would not recommend.
