I loved this book! I didn't solve the mystery before the big reveal, but there were some clues I just didn't pick up on. I loved the atmosphere and there was just enough suspense to keep it moving.

The reveal of Emily's body was a bit of a jump scare, but it hit at just the right time. I do question how that suitcase wasn't ruined with Emily's body stuffed in there for years, but I prefer not having the gory details anyway.

My only complaint is that I read it too quickly, and now it's over haha

This is striking a chord I’d rather not strum. I’m not enjoying  it enough to stick it out though I tried.

This book was so good! It was well written and I was thoroughly impressed with the writing. It nailed the back and forth narrative, jumping from the now back into the past and seeing how things went down and led to the events today. It felt like a proper mystery and while I guessed *some* of the ending I was still surprised at the twist.
