Where it fell a bit flat was in the overall writing style and a some of the plot twists. While I picked up on major clues early, some twists felt rushed and thrown in at the end. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, and I’d definitely check out another book by Ashley Flowers in the future!

It kinda feels JonBenet Ramsey murder fanfiction. But, since that's an unsolved murder with several theories, I guess it's reasonable to fictionalize it.
The double narrative, the twists, the turns, the epilogue... It all came together well. I enjoyed reading it. I didn't loooove it probably because I felt detached from the characters, and that's okay.
