This was a really fun twisty murder mystery. It does deal with very heavy topics, so please read trigger warnings. However, I found this book very compelling and page turning. I kept coming back to listen!  However, the ending was a little lackluster for my taste. It kinda felt like they picked a killer out of nowhere and didn’t really have any lead up to make you think it was this person at all. Not in a good “I couldn’t have guessed it, unexpected” way, but in a why would it be that person, it doesn’t really make sense” kind of way. I mean I get it, but it seemed like a little bit of a reach. But the final reveal, oof, loved that. I expected it but still loved it. Some other parts were a little predictable, but nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
