spoiler: she did NOT solve her own murder

Okay, it wasn’t awful. It was quick and got me through a bit of a reading slump so I appreciate it for that. It just isn’t anything spectacular or groundbreaking. The most unique aspect was the fortune! But I liked that it didn’t wade into magical waters for the story, it was based in reality (as much as a murder mystery can be).

    The book was enjoyable, however, I enjoyed the flashbacks/diary entries more than the present-day portions of the book. I felt like the things that happened in the 1960s were more interesting and easier to get into than what was otherwise happening.
     Frances was much more interesting than Annie who was a bit boring, and whose story you didn't get into as much. I hope in future books we learn more about Annie and I start to care more about her & her character. Laura, Annie's mom just seemed awful for most of the book. 
    The characters were a mix of likable and unlikable. Not just the villains were unlikable, it was more like a 30/70 split of likable and unlikable for me. 
   I wasn't able to easily figure out the mystery. I do look forward to the next book.


Narrators' Rating: 4 stars
    I'd give Annie's narrator about 2.75 stars and Frances' narrator a 4-star rating.
