I really enjoyed the mystery and reading all the different points of view. The story begins with the end which I thought was really cool. I was right about a few things, and as the story progressed and more pieces of the puzzle were revealed, I had to reread the first chapter and be like, “OH MY GOD! THE ANSWER WAS THERE ALL ALONG!”. The writing was tricky but once you put the pieces together it is very obvious what Feeney did with the writing. I did not see the ending coming! I literally said “WHAT THE F*CK?!” out loud lol. That was fun.
Overall, this was a good mystery book that kept me entertained and eager to keep reading. I loved the short chapters and engaging plot.
I felt like the crime aspect of it was a bit hard to believe. It was a bit of a reach for the person to be able to get away with it. Like there were so many ways they would have been identified as the murderer in real life, (fingerprints, cameras, audio, eye witnesses… that sort of thing) but I’ll pretend none of those things existed lol.
I’m just a fan of Alice Feeney’s books, and how she can write a twisted mystery tale while using figures of speech at the same time that make her
writing very unique for the genre.
read this book if you enjoy:
- multiple pov’s
- solving murder/disappearance mysteries
- short chapters
- books about strong female connections
