3.0

The killer was obvious to me because of the narration if you read a physical copy it may be a surprise. But the choice to use the same narrator and the same voice made the MC suspicious. And I was right.

    There were twists and the why of the murders (which to me was stupid, but the mental health part of it was interesting), but it would have been better without the part mentioned in the spoiler. So if you want to read this I recommend a physical or e-copy of the book. 

Narrator Rating: 4 stars
   The actual narrator was good. Just that choice by the publisher was the issue.
