A truly dysfunctional family with their fair share of drama and skeletons in the closet. 
There’s no one thing that kept me from loving this book, I think it was just a little too convoluted and “wtf is even happening”  for my taste. I set it down about halfway through and read an entirely different 5-book series before coming back to it. The plot was interesting and the mystery intrigued me enough that I came back to finish it.

It was OK, a decent read. I got a little taken out of it whenever the author kept detailing the pit falls of a certain business model. While I agree and understood the importance to the plot, it was a little on the nose, like he was reading off points from a reddit post. It kept my attention and had some clever quips.
