Very satisfying ending, I figured out the murderer but I was over 80% of the way through before I called it.

A page turner with a satisfying ending. Lucy Foley has cemented herself in my eyes as a great mystery storyteller and I can't wait for her next book to come out. 

There are some disturbing themes in the book that caught me off guard, so I'm adding the CWs as part of my review.
