bruh my audiobook hours ran out so then i didn’t bother because it was lowkey so mid so anticlimactic and just underwhelming i remember thinking oooh okok we have our first potential suspect and then i see how much of the book i’ve read: 80%. one suspect (who i thought would be a red herring) but turns out to be the bloody murderer.
piss poor.

I really enjoyed this thriller! This book was entertaining and fun. It was slow at places, though. I don't know if the author intended you to guess the first big "twist" if it really was a twist, but I picked up what she was putting down in that instance right away. The ending was twisty, and it was wrapped up in a nice bow, and I liked it.
Alex Marks is living a pretty lonely life in NYC. It is revealed she is lonely on purpose, though. She's running from her past. When Alex sees a job posting to be the new advice columnist for a well-regarded newspaper, she is curious. After all, "Dear Constance" is a column she loved and read for years up until the author's shocking murder a year ago. What kind of questions are they asking to replace the beloved columnist? Alex applies on a whim, and she actually gets hired. Not too long after starting, it becomes clear the advice columnist job may just come with the un benefit of murder. Alex is determined not to be next, so she sets out to find out who killed the original columnist, Frances.
This is one of the better thrillers I've read this year. I definitely will recommend it.
