3.5 - a nice little Christmas mystery tale. While I didn’t love the reason for the original murder… I did enjoy all of Swanson’s twists and use of different perspectives.

I am generally a Peter Swanson fan, so I was pretty eager to pick this novella up. The length was perfect for the plot, but I hated the ending and it had one of my least favorite tropes in the last 15 pages. Honestly, I would definitely read a full length novel unpacking Adam or Emma! Would recommend just for the Christmas vibes ✨
I get it but it wasn't great after the reveal. I didn't need everything described to me. Could've been shorter?

The story was interesting, although it felt so short, as we didn’t have a chance to get to know the 3 important characters better, nor enough time to feel the thriller tension much. And we didn’t get to know why all the murdered girls look like Emma!!
I liked the very last part tho, Adam had the potential to be an interesting psychopathic serial killer, if we got an additional part for him.
Yet I think the book is a solid 3.5 to 4 stars

A quick read. Basic language for the most part. Overly simple plot. No real twist.
