A reporter is approached by a grieving mother about her daughter's suspicious death and is pulled into the same group of friends that the daughter was around when she died.
This was certainly full of twists and turns! The red herring was perfectly played and I was so glad it wasn't him, as that would have made it too predictable.
However, it was harder to care about the characters because none of them were very likable. Neither Sophie nor Tash nor any other mothers in the book seemed like genuinely good people, except maybe one.
Overall, it was a great thriller that kept you guessing with a twist ending.
Narrator Rating: 4 stars
Pretty good! But not amazing.
