Loved the setting and a few of the characters as well as the app- it was a fun idea that was fleshed out well. I didn't like the reveal- the killer's characterization took such a sharp turn from what it had been which felt lame, and the motivation ultimately didn't feel quite strong enough.

I will say that the murderer was a pleasent surpise, and how they were introduced was brilliant.

The tension, is it them? It seems like it but then not and then it IS.

I also liked the snoop aspect a lot more then expected and it was well done 😊👍

This book got better as it went on. It started off pretty slow at first and then dramatically picked up steam. Definitely has Agatha Christie vibes!
