A nice, quick read that is addicting from start to finish!  I think I thought pretty much all the characters were the killer at some point in the story, lol.  The book had plenty of plot twists and a tense ending that did not disappoint.  I wasn't the biggest fan of Frances's POV (she and her friends were pretty unlikable as teens), but I get that her chapters were important since they had major implications for Annie's story in the present and were helpful in solving the mystery.
 I am definitely going to be reading the sequel that comes out next year!

    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.

I don’t think there was that much investigating in this book. And yet I still felt myself enthralled seeing the mystery unravel, I love family secrets mystery novels.
