It was interesting! Not sure how satisfying I find the ending, but I didn't see most of the twists coming, and I definitely wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next. 

The audiobook narrators were all great as well.

Just a few small nitpicky things I didn’t love, but overall a very compelling and fun murder mystery

Oh my god I loved this! I was hooked and couldn’t put it down, such a great mystery book. Lucy Foley is like a modern day Agatha Christe and this was such a great read. 
Had me guessing the whole time and my jaw dropped so many times because I just couldn’t believe what I found out. Literally so good, I recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a good mystery read.
I saw some people say it has a slow start but I personally think it was interesting from the beginning and I kept reading because it got more and more interesting.
