challenging dark mysterious reflective tense

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.0

Meh I was bored. The whole thing felt very convoluted just to get to where we did. The inserts of French also took me out of the story a lot. This could’ve taken a really cool investigative aspect instead of the route it went. Lucy Foley does always have a few shocking plot twists tho.

Enjoyed isn't quite the right word for this book, but it kept my attention and I think overall made a good thriller. It also surprised me a few times.

kritika's review

3.5

A quick read with some twists I didn't see coming, but I think the mystery was solved a little too easily with the clues left behind for our main character. I think it would have been more fun if it had felt like a cat and mouse game.

SPOILERS

I think my soul just died before the new year. My lord, I try not to rant too hard on author’s works because they are someone’s blood sweat and tears, but this book was just not good. 

You meet the characters and honestly, none of them are people I’m invested in or want to root for. They don’t have any redeeming qualities about them. I got to the 60% of my audiobook and called it. Like after Ben kissed Mimi and then later he reveals he was listing after her mother?! I just could not continue that weirded me out more than any bloody gore ever could. I was just so uncomfortable. 

I just can’t with this book.
