Sooo good! I began to pick up on the plot twist and loved how it played out. The writing had me question and discover different scenarios before it was revealed.

Picked this up at the start of the pandemic. It’s the book that reignited my love for reading.

Excellent book with a great ending. This book allowed me to not worry about figuring out what would happen to each character or figure out who did it. Instead it read so well that you knew throughout the novel you would find the answers. Well written, beautifully woven together, and I loved every minute of this novel.
