I did enjoy the first half of the book; it was interesting to read about how the murders took place, but there was no clear message to the book. Clearly, it was a not a feminist statement, nor did it make a clear statement about Grace becoming more like her father than she'd wanted. Although, I did not mind the twist as much, it was badly foreshadowed and muddied the message of the book even further.

Pretty sure the ending is left this vague because there will be a sequel? Who knows.
The audiobook narrator for Grace's part made me furious at times. They would take a breath or swallow in the middle of the sentence, take odd breaks and so on. It was really annoying.
