3.0

A slight deviation from the author’s formulaic mysteries, but only slight. Still many predictable twists with a mix of unloveable upperclassman characters and tropey working class characters.

4.0

Fun, well thought-out, great twists and turns, wonderful delving into different characters; did suffer from swapping POV’s too much at climactic/charged moments which imo messes with your tension, but did great at utilizing POV cuts and flash backs to provide cliffhangers and control what information we know when

Another quite well done thriller from Lucy Foley that I couldn’t put down once it got going. This one does start off a bit slow but once the intrigues and reveals start showing themselves it’s off to the races
