3.0

I don't normally read mystery books but this one was fine. I'm not well read enough in the genre to judge whether it was a well written murder mystery but I will say I wasn't suspecting the culprit.
The audiobook was great because each point of view was narrated by a different reader which helped differentiate characters more easily.
It should be made known that there is a lot of potentially triggering content involving self harm, suicide, and abortion as well as content warnings for alcohol and drug use.
