Shari, what the hell?! I have more questions than answers with that ending. What a ride though. So many characters to keep track of with so many secrets but the biggest secret of all I feel like was never revealed! Ugh. A classic Shari Lapena read.

It was a fun read :) Very mysterious and I think I followed the right line of suspicion over who the murderer was correctly :) Fun

This was extremely fun and twisty, and I did not guess the ending because everyone was so sneaky!  I thought the characterization of the neighborhood dynamics was really believable. Ms. Lapena does these domestic issues so well, and I'm really excited to read more of her books. Also, moral is never trust a partner lol

This was sooo good, fast-paced and twisty! Once I thought I had figured out who the murderer was, I was wrong. My head was spinning with so many theories. I have become obsessed with Shari Lapena's writing style.
