The mystery of the book was okay, and I did find myself flipping the pages wanting to find out what occurred and how the different storylines connected. But, most of the characters were incredibly annoying to me, doing and thinking things that made no sense at all given what was happening in the story. Also, lots of the dialogue was so incredibly awkward/stilted, to the point of being cringeworthy at many points throughout the book, that I kept being taken out of the story by it.

Might be harsher on this book that others she’s had written because I enjoyed them so much. I enjoyed this one! The twists were almost expected but I was also truly surprised at times. She does a great job with the interiority of the people involved. Worth a listen!

3.5 rounded up. I never quite understand why thrillers these days constantly have people solving crimes within a week, without police interfering.

That being said, I enjoyed the mystery of who, what, when, and where. I feel like the mystery held up until the past was discovered for sure.
