A solid mystery. Did really well with the tense atmosphere, there were some moments that had my pulse seriously elevated

The MC felt a bit useless for about 80% of the book, as we learned most of the information from the other characters’ POV’s, but she was still a good MC

...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.

Meh. It was ok. Had high hopes for it which may have been too high. I find that Lucy Foley repeats herself in her writing a lot and over-explains things.

Also, Jess hooking up with Theo was not necessary, like at all.
