This audiobook took me forever to read, which is weird because I was enjoying it. 

I jusy love reading about rich people drama. The beginning of this was really good and I was interested, but then in the middle I was kind of bored because it just felt repetitive. I wish there was more present chapters because I would honestly forget that someone was killed. *slight spoiler* Then the last little bit was actually shocking because I didn’t expect such a dark topic to be in this.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.

This was like if an episode of Law and Order met Desperate Housewives. It was pretty slow up until like 70% then I finished it in one sitting.

This felt like a 3 star read for the first half of the book. The characters are painfully unlikeable (on purpose) and the writing is quite good but I just don’t feel entertained by middle aged rich housewives. Then somewhere around 60% things got REAL. The characters still suck, but there are some dark twists that I did not see coming. Read this in one day, fun and unputdownable. If you’re a real housewives fan I think you would EAT this up!
