What a great murder mystery! I don't know how others figured the ending out with all the twists the author was throwing at us. I had guesses as to who was killed and who did it but I was way off each time. The only things I wasn't a big fan of was the bouncing back and forth in the timelines, which was confusing at times for me, and the pacing felt a little slow for me at the beginning. Overall, a great story! I'd definitely like to read more from this author in the future.

Very quick and easy read, I enjoyed it. At a point near the end I was starting to get a little bored and I was planning to give it 3 stars but then the last couple chapters turned it around and I settled on 3.5.

Way darker than I expected. Very tense and gripping. The characters aren't really loveable, but you do feel some compassion for them.

Totally didn't see the end coming, and it managed to be layered surprises past the initial one. I liked the multiple POVs despite myself; author really managed to make each charcter have their own voice and make sense. Pretty suspenseful, and I was interested for the most part. Occasionally fell off, particularly Johnno in the first 2/3 but otherwise largely good.

3.0

This thriller/murder mystery definitely kept me guessing until the end - I had some inklings of what may have happened here and there but definitely didn’t put it all together. It was intriguing not knowing whodunit or the victim until the very end. Early on the book was slow with poor character development. I really wish there had been one more chapter to tie up the loose ends with the characters. The ending felt rushed. Also some of the “trigger warning content” was annoying and not necessary and thrown in for the shock factor.
