I feel like this started off a bit slow at first but then before I knew it, I was halfway through. Then, just when I would feel like I had this figured out, something would make me doubt my hypothesis and pivot the narrative. Definitely snuck up on me and kept me guessing. The characters are all flawed but likable and the story gets more engrossing the further in you get. I was really surprised how much I liked this one! Thanks so much to Helen Cooper, the publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to review this e-arc!

Rounding up to 3.5 ⭐️
The Couple In The Photo follows two couples who have known each other since college. When a woman from their past disappears and is later found murdered, the group falls apart. The main character Lucy starts an investigation of her own to get to the bottom of what her friends know and what they’re hiding. While I enjoyed the story and was definitely not expecting some of the twists it did end up being a tad predictable. I did find the ending to be a bit long winded/drawn out. Overall, an enjoyable & cozy mystery.
THANK YOU to the author, Netgalley & Penguin Group Putnam for this ARC in return for my honest review.

I almost DNFd this because the main character however I pushed through and ended up enjoying the book. The twist at the end was totally unexpected!
