YALL. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS BOOK. 
It was soooooo good!! 
Think, Housewives of Atlanta but with murder. Think, Botox and fake boobs but with with malicious intent. Strong Alexis and David vibes. 
Okay and obvi, the book is titled “One of us is dead” so you for sure have no idea who it is right up until the end. It’s a pretty slow pace (meaning there’s no actual action until the 50% mark), but you just need to sit back and enjoy your popcorn in the comments section. Because, DRAMA. I cannot tell you how many times I said the phrase “Girl, no he didn’t.” Or “omg ew. She’s such a b*tch” or “periodt.” 
Let the tea just spill all out, yall. 
GO READ THIS! Ok love you. Bye.

I hope I never have to interact with any of these Karen's. This story is all about white shenanigans and how not everyone is your friend. Wasn't my favorite book. At one point I just wanted it to be done so I Googled the ending. I still finished the book despite spoiling the ending for myself. 


How did the detective not figure this thing out? Because in my humble opinion everything worked out perfectly for the women and they got off scotch free. Also these women talk to much. How are they going to keep this secret? They all like to backstab each other when they feel they will get the upper hand.

Now this was a fun housewives type murder mystery! Jeneva Rose pulls us into the glamorous world of Buckhead, full of men who make too much money and the women who spend it for them. Of course with money and power, there comes the fight to rise in the ranks and maintain status. This fun flip on a who-dun-it, has you wondering from page 1, who is going to be dead at the end!

I did find that the plot twist at the end was very heavy and was not totally prepped for that so definitely check the trigger warnings. I also was a bit confused on Crystal's backstory, but I think the vagueness may have been purposeful as the big reveal hadn't happened yet.

I also loved the narrator! She did a fantastic job making it easier to distinguish between the characters!

Overall great listen 4 stars!
