4.0

What a great murder mystery! I don't know how others figured the ending out with all the twists the author was throwing at us. I had guesses as to who was killed and who did it but I was way off each time. The only things I wasn't a big fan of was the bouncing back and forth in the timelines, which was confusing at times for me, and the pacing felt a little slow for me at the beginning. Overall, a great story! I'd definitely like to read more from this author in the future.

A story trope that’s familiar, told in a jaw dropping way. The narrators did a fantastic job of bringing each character to life, exposing their secrets as it all unfolded. I canceled my plans to finish this book. Recommending wholeheartedly!!

Very quick and easy read, I enjoyed it. At a point near the end I was starting to get a little bored and I was planning to give it 3 stars but then the last couple chapters turned it around and I settled on 3.5.

This mystery is super good. The cast of characters is diverse in personality and all have a reason for why they could have committed a murder. I love that the murder itself happens at the very end of the book instead of at the beginning as it really kept me guessing when it would happen as there were multiple opportunities to do so. The real way in which the character guys was completely unexpected; I didn't see it coming and it left my jaw dropped which told me how good the twist was. The ending is extremely satisfying, which is right in line with Lucy Foley's amazing writing ability.
