adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

This is an entertaining, quick read. PI Cho reminds me of Stephanie Plum.  The plot for the book is a compelling one and although much of it was predictable,  it was still an interesting read.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading this! As far as characters go, Madeline was terrible (but I get it), Hazel seemed to kind of be trying her best (but really needed to get her life together), and Kenny was someone I’d like to know more about.

The concept of driving from NYC to Lake George for an investigation was absolutely horrifying to me. That drive is miserable! But alas, Hazel did it and more power to her. 

While the investigation was ongoing, I couldn’t put this down. I was worried about everything, and everyone was a suspect to me. In the end, I should have guessed the twist but didn’t. I would have loved an epilogue that humanized more of the victims.

Good writing, great story, and it’s always excellent to read about girls who need their stories told—even fictionally.

It’s fine? Perfectly entertaining but predictable and a tad disappointing. Feels very casually written which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you enjoy. Definitely a woman character written by a man™ with weirdly specific comments about weight and body image woven throughout the narrator’s inner monologue
