3.0

A murder rocks a small town, and all eyes seem to be on newcomers Sadie and Will. And in Officer Bergs defense Sadie is acting a little erratically,
Trying to clear her name of suspicion Sadie is dragged deeper and deeper into the mystery of this small town murder.

This genre is tough to write, which can be a little bit of an oxymoron, because they are often considered "fluff books" at least they are to me and many of my friends. They are the kind of books you read to clear you head to make way for a deeper read.
But they are hard to write because everything is so predictable. It is quite rare that a 'who done it' style book catches me off my guard. And I tried to figure this one out, I really did, but I was Blown away by this twist.

Some parts were a little predictable, but the big reveal... Very impressive.

The main character of this story was not likeable, yet I still found myself rooting for her. I didn’t know how I wanted this to end until it was ending in a way I didn’t want! I do think Kubica redeemed herself in the end though as the ending turned out even better than I had realized I’d wanted it to. This was a slow burn until the end when I swear I got whiplash from all the twists.
